Mono Blocked from MS Conference

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the not-surprising dept.

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.

    Funny to complain about it here on Slashdot where "Note: grousing about rejected submissions is Offtopic and usually gets moderated that way. It happens, don't take it personally."

    The news part is "but they actively have misrepresented things."
    You don't say? In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet. Next story please.

    Have you ever heard an automobile sales commercial on TV or Radio that stated:

    "All credit applications accepted" ?

    This does not mean they will be approved...
