Mono project founder Miguel de Icaza claims that Microsoft prevented the open source project from holding a meeting at the company's Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles. Microsoft states on its conference Web site that its 'Birds of a Feather' sessions are proposed and voted on by the community. But the Mono BOF was never listed for voting and therefore received no votes, despite the submission being confirmed, according to De Icaza's blog.

Like someone said, Linux needs a good managed code environment.
From Microsoft's perspective, Mono will serve to distract Linux coders from Java being this environment, killing it on Linux. Plus, Microsoft will be able to "port" C# coders to the Microsoft platform.
For a long time, I thought that Miguel might be complicit in this, but I doubt it. I just don't think the poor guy's decent nature can fathom the depth of crookedness in some of Microsoft's management.
