I've opened a few issues and sent a some pull requests along to various MS projects (couple of bits shipped).
I've found them generally to be quite supportive and encouraging in the vast majority of places.
I've been un-acknowledged on a couple and have felt un-welcome in only one instance. (In that one case I'm pretty sure the words we were using were all English, but I'm not sure we had the same meaning... I walked away from that one feeling dumber than where I started.)
All said and done, I have been wildly pleased with my experiences as a Microsoft community contributor on github... Though would say that there is some variability as you cross teams.
As you'd expect from people.

- alexc05 11y agoSorry I was trying to be too clever. I mean that the things that they were saying were so complex that I was completely unable to understand a single word of it. That's a bit over stated too, but the short version is that they confused me to the point that I didn't think I'd be able to make a valuable contribution to the project. To break down my phrasing above, "I know you're speaking English, but I don't know what you're saying" is a phrase I've heard used but I think it isn't common. Hope that helps. Basically it's a bad joke :)
- yati 11y agoHaha, okay, now I see what you mean :)
