# .NET Home
|
||||
|
||||
The repository is the starting point for people to learn about the .NET open
|
||||
source projects.
|
||||
The .NET Home repository is the starting point to engage in and learn about .NET open source projects on GitHub. You can read the more detailed [Introduction to .NET Open Source](http://blogs.msdn.com/dotnet) on the .NET blog.

## Finding .NET Projects from Microsoft on GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
See [Contributing Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
||||
There are several open source .NET projects from Microsoft on GitHub, including [ASP.NET 5](https://github.com/aspnet/home), [Entity Framework](https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework) and .NET Core 5. Each one of these projects maps to one or more [.NET NuGet package](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/p/nugetpackages.aspx) that are published on [NuGet.org](http://nuget.org/). They are also many great open source .NET community projects on GitHub and Codeplex, including the [Mono Project](https://github.com/mono/).

|
||||
## Learning about ASP.NET Core 5 and .NET Core 5
|
||||
|
||||
ASP.NET Core 5 is a new cross-platform version of ASP.NET that is designed for the cloud. It uses the .NET Core 5 runtime and framework, which runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. [ASP.NET Core 5](https://github.com/aspnet/home) and [.NET Core 5 libraries](https://github.com/Microsoft?query=dotnet) are open source on GitHub. At present, only a few [.NET Core 5 libraries](https://github.com/Microsoft?query=dotnet) (ex: [SIMD](http://github.com/microsoft/dotnet-simd)) have been posted on GitHub. The rest of the libraries including the base runtime will be added in the coming months.

## .NET Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
All projects have been contributed to the [.NET Foundation](http://www.dotnetfoundation.org/projects). There are two main .NET Foundation projects for these GitHub projects: [ASP.NET Core 5 project](http://www.dotnetfoundation.org/prjaspnetvnext.aspx) and the [.NET Core 5 project](http://www.dotnetfoundation.org/prjaspnetvnext.aspx).
