60% of the commits for .NET Core Fx are from outside. Just like any project, participate, be present, be kind, offer ideas, do PRs

That is cool! I guess my question is more around whether it is only Microsoft employees who approve those PRs?

@ben_a_adams do you have commit access?1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

I am member of corefx/coreclr and do approve PRs; but don't have merge rights. Is two stage process where someone other than PR maker has to approve the PR (can be me approving) before PR gets merged - so generally PR approver for my PRs would also then merge it

So merge access is still controlled by Microsoft employees?

That was always my understanding/assumption, but I've never seen it explicitly written down

I guess this is my point, I LOVE the new Microsoft and the changes they have made, but without truly opening up the governance (and licenses) to the 100s of awesome oss projects they have, they are still retaining the right to exert a level of control on projects

Compare this to the
@EclipseFdn or@linuxfoundation or@kubernetesio where the governance and license is open enough for others to become core-maintainers from outside or for folks to completely fork the project like Hudson to Jenkins2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @tenfourty @matthewwarren and
The licenses for these that we've been discussing are certainly open enough that they could be forked. I mean, they are mostly MIT, and under the .NET Foundation...

Ya I own the .NET foundation and we have a board and governance around these projects.
