Microsoft open-sources the .NET core
As a .NET developer you were able to build & run code on more than just Windows for a while now, including Linux, MacOS, iOs and Android. The challenge is that the Windows implementation has one code base while Mono has a complete separate code base. The Mono community was essentially forced to re-implement .NET because no open source implementation was available." Amusingly, the code has been placed on GitHub; the announcement notes that code located there gets far more contributions than code on Microsoft's own "CodePlex" site.
