Miguel, Mono and Microsoft
A little over five months has gone by since the Microsoft-Novell deal was signed but some details still remain unknown.
Of particular interest is the fact that nothing has been said about the role which Mono will play in the deal. Mono, for the uninitiated, is the project run by Gnome co-founder Miguel de Icaza, to try (desperately) and replicate Microsoft's .NET development environment on Linux. It is now part of Novell after it bought Ximian, de Icaza's company, four years ago.
In an interview that de Icaza gave recently to a "friendly" journalist (perhaps that qualification isn't needed; de Icaza only speaks to journalists who ask him inane questions), he made mention of his wishlist - that the "deal should include a technical Mono/.NET collaboration, and even go as far as Microsoft recommending Mono for all of their developers looking at migration."
