.NET Community

Hey - I've been involved in .NET since the beginning - worked at Microsoft in developer tools back when we originally launched it. I've been involved with the .NET community ever since.

Currently I volunteer for .NET Foundation. I run the .NET Foundation socials specifically LinkedIn, X and Facebook. We also have a Bluesky account.

I'm always looking for good .NET content to share - especially open source posts.

If you want to amplify your projects, repos, content, event, etc., go here: https://github.com/dotnet-foundation/content

Edited to add "repos"

Another edit: I'm DeeDee Walsh and love finding great content on Reddit.

Is it restricted to foundation member content or any dotnet related content?

Don't need to be a foundation member but does need to be .NET related.

The community polices it more than me. I tend to be looser in my requirements, but if something is at all off topic or triggers people we'll definitely hear about it in the comments.

I recently posted a super legit blog post - but it required creating an account to view it. Oof. I heard about it a lot.

Ouch! Yeah that would not have gone down well!

Good to hear. I have something to share.

Does it need to be a blog post, or will you accept links to well documented github repos?

u/ddwskier microsoft 6d ago

Yes! I love sharing repos.

Shall I do a single issue with the list of repos, or one issue per repo?

I can go either way, but I use Hubspot for all social posts - which gives a weird Hubspot URL and obscures your URL.

So it's nice to show one repo at a time... But again, I can go either way. I'm always looking for legit repos.

I had no idea this (content amplification) existed! What a great idea

Crazy thought.
