As a second step in the increased commitment to provide a better product to our customers and increase the collaboration with our community. we took the first step into joining the open source community with BizTalk Server.

Today we open sourced 3,539 files for our customers as well as the community, these are all the schemas we ship as a part of the product. Or intention is to continue our open source commitment, and the repository is made available for everyone. while the main branch will be managed by the BizTalk Server Product group, the community contributions is more than welcome, this can include elements like Schemas, Samples, Adapters, pipeline components or anything else you feel the community can take advantage of.
