Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Just now, both the server and desktop editions of the Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope beta have been released. It comes with a boatload of new features, some of which come courtesy of upstream. A new GNOME release, a new X.org release, a new notification system, they're all in there.

ummm... dude... he wasn't being political about it. mono *is* unneeded for kubuntu. sheesh. how many qt/kde apps require mono? rawr!


Synapse, a start of the art instant messaging client is a good example of a Qyoto program written in C#:

http://synapse.im/

Of course you are perfectly free not to use it. And you are also free to change, modify and redistribute the code because like Mono, Qyoto and Qt, Synapse is Free Software.

I completely fail to see any problem with attracting existing C# programmers to the joys of the Qt and KDE apis. Once they learn those apis, they are free to code in other languages like C++, Python or Ruby if they want, and are less reliant on the Microsoft 'eco-system' than they were.
