Star Miguel de Icaza: Rest of the World to Eventually Force US Into Linux
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Mon 10th May 2004 02:54 UTC
Novell and Ximian Last Thursday OSNews had the opportunity to meet Miguel de Icaza, founder of Gnome, Ximian and among other things leader of the much discussed, Mono project. Miguel is a talented and versatile developer but he is also a very intelligent businessman able to understand the industry on many different levels. Talking to Miguel guarantees that you are very quickly taken away by his enthusiasm and optimism and his thoughtful strategies and vision on how OSS will take over the world.

The beginning of the Cocoa bindings are on Mono CVS,
they were written by Urs Muff from Quark, and with the new
found stability of the Mono JIT, and the easy-to-install
PPC packages, we hope that the native Cocoa bindings for
Mono will soon take off.

To access the Evolution data store, you can use today C#
bindings. We will keep working on improving those as time
goes on, and as we learn of new use scenarios.

Regarding our pesimist friend Rayiner: all of us writing free software are in the business of changing the world. Ever since day one, people did not believe that free software would one day be this popular. We hope to prove you wrong as well.
