It’s about time…

Mono

Mono is going to be represented at Microsoft's PDC this yearMiguel de Icaza, who leads the open-source Mono effort, is going to present a session about Mono and .Net.  If you search this blog for "mono", you'll see that I've been paying attention to these guys for quite a while now, and wondering the whole time why Microsoft isn't paying closer attention.

I'm really encouraged to see that Miguel and the Mono team are getting some exposure.  I still believe there's a lot for both Mono and Microsoft to gain by strengthening this partnership.  Microsoft needs to embrace Linux more than ever before, and frankly, Linux could really stand a little bit of leadership to help that platform coalesce.

Good luck, Miguel!
