Meetup Description
Twelve years ago growing voices inside of Microsoft pushed for the company to participate more significantly in open source software.
Obstacles were significant:
- The company worried about liability triggered by downstream users.
- The community worried about the potentially heavy-handed approach of a company as large as Microsoft.
But an honest commitment to collaboration, and some initial building blocks around open standards ultimately led to Microsoft being the more full-fledged participant it is today. There’s a lot the Document Database community can learn from this experience.
