In early April our friend Michael Desmond, from Redmond Developer News, wrote a thought provoking article related to Open Source on the Microsoft platform. The title of the article was "Open Source .NET Projects Getting Cold Shoulder?" and it featured quotes from Jeff Atwood ( formerly of Vertigo - the original authors of the IBuySpy Portal sample application in 2000 ) which highlighted that "open source projects are treated as second-class citizens in the Microsoft ecosystem". Later, in May, Michael Desmond followed up on the original article and published a new editorial focussed on the question of "Should Microsoft be doing more to make open source development a first-class citizen in the .NET space?".
