Mono Blocked from MS Conference

Anonymous Coward writes to tell us that Microsoft has apparently blocked the Mono 'Birds-of-a-Feather' meeting from being held at their Professional Developers Conference for the second year in a row. Miguel de Icaza discusses the circumstances in his blog. From the blog: 'It is their conference, and they have every right to control what they will allow to be shown there, but they actively have misrepresented things.' Not terribly surprising but infuriating nonetheless.

    Mono may be open and that may be all well and good, but it is not a better implementation of .NET, period.

    So shut your mouth, bitch!


    Thanks for that demonstration of the persuasive skills of the typical MS advocate. What a brilliant technical analysis.
