“”We believe we’ll move into a more mature state in the
spring,” Sam Ramji, interim president of the CodePlex Foundation,
told InternetNews.com.

“Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) formally unveiled the CodePlex
Foundation in September as an effort to help commercial entities
bring open source products to market.

“The CodePlex Foundation is a separate but related effort to
Microsoft’s CodePlex project site, which was launched in 2006 as a
site for hosting open source efforts. The foundation is now
organizing itself to tackle its mandate of helping commercial open
source technology development and adoption.”
