Are you a .NET developer who's had enough of the challenges that come with open-source? Abandoned libraries, sudden licensing changes, hidden gems that no one knows about, and pull requests that gather dust for years? We get it, and we're here to help.
A place where .NET developers can come together to build, maintain, and support high-quality open-source projects. Here, your favorite libraries remain free and accessible, your contributions are valued and acted upon, and you can find the help and resources you need to succeed.
At the Managed Code Community, our goal is to create an ecosystem of reliable, well-maintained open-source projects for the .NET community. We believe that by working together, we can ensure that the libraries and tools we depend on remain available, up-to-date, and of the highest quality.
✅ Develop and improve projects we use daily: We create and enhance open-source projects based on our real-world experience and needs as .NET developers.
✅ Support existing projects: We provide resources and assistance to help maintain and improve existing open-source projects that are important to the community.
✅ Foster new ideas: We encourage and support .NET developers in launching and growing their own open-source initiatives.
✅ Promote hidden gems: We shine a spotlight on high-quality, lesser-known projects that deserve more attention and use.
✅ Share knowledge and experience: We provide a platform for .NET developers to share their insights, learn from each other, and grow together as a community.
- Openness and Accessibility: Free and open-source software that everyone can use and contribute to.
- Collaborative Maintenance: We share the responsibility of maintaining and improving our projects.
- Mutual Understanding: We respect the needs and perspectives of all community members.
- Growth and Mentorship: We help each other learn and develop as developers.
