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.

"You need food, water, clothes, shelter, healthcare in life, computers arn't a requirement."
Information however is. The world is now a global presence, and a lot of third and second are skipping the industrial age and going for the information age. What is healthcare if you're using outdated information? What is food if you don't know the best ways to grow it? What is water if you don't know the best ways to find, and clean it (a lot of water sources are dirty). What is shelter if you don't learn the best ways to get, and keep it? Computers are mearly a means to an end, and in this case it's a better future if not for the parents, then for their decendents.
