CodePlex Foundation Aims to Evolve Commercial Open Source

"Almost a year after launching, the Microsoft-sponsored open source CodePlex Foundation is looking ahead to an ambitious agenda in its second year of life.

"Paula Hunter, the executive director of the CodePlex Foundation, told InternetNews.com that new efforts around branding, contributions and governance at the CodePlex Foundation are underway. The foundation is also planning to roll out a host of additional projects, with some to be officially sponsored by Microsoft and others that the software giant will not formally support.

"Hunter's efforts are aimed at delivering on the mandate of the CodePlex Foundation to help grow commercial opportunities for open source projects across the project lifecycle."
