2009 was a big year for Microsoft and the open-source community. In addition to supporting standards and fostering an environment of two way dialogue, Microsoft started putting money where their mouth was in terms of real community updates and software to improve interoperability. They even released some quality code for the various major open-source projects!

I'd like to give a lightning talk on this subject. Also, can I be put down for it without having to sign up for a Yahoo ID?
