Eberhard, Thanks for the input. For starters, it seems there is no "example" project for the .NET (VB or C#) clients. Unless they are hidden within the actual project, but there is no readme or howto other than what Bertrand once wrote
CLS (ISO/IEC 23271:2012) compliant .Net version of Device Map Java Client Not sure, what the ISO reference means, is it something .NET specific? So getting something running like in the /examples folder I maintained and made usable for both the W3C implementation and the Java Classifier would make it easier to see how to use it (and that it still works with the current data;-) If it's .NET-ish in the sence that you must have a commercial Microsoft product to run, then it makes if of course a bit harder to build and run. Do either of them work with a "Community" edition of Visual Studio? There is a C# port of the W3C DDR client, but especially because of the Visual Studio requirements I did not look into that myself (I worked a lot with especially VB earlier, but I don't own a current VS license for such Open Source activities) Unlike the W3C DDR implementation that is used widely by large sites and commercial clients (OpenDDR or thanks to the DeviceMap project they can easily migrate their solutions by just dropping in the new W3C impl) and has also been mature and stable at OpenDDR already. The C# port was still at least Beta I'd say. That is why I aim for a proper release of all artifacts in the active DeviceMap trunk, If the classifier evolves and matures those using the mature W3C solution now may consider moving to that. I also spoke to several of the OpenDDR team members (2 or 3 also joined the initial PMC but so far waited to see, how graduation goes) and they sounded interested to contribute. As long as they find a healthy, diverse project, not a One Man Show dictated by a single person. Volkan also offered to help, not seen an official vote to get him on board, but maybe his contributor agreement is still processed? Even if you can't leave Greece so easily, we are happy to give a talk with more polyglot aspects looking at .NET or JavaScript parts of DeviceMap beside the Java ones at a conference with a strong Web and Mobile emphasis. Also why showing anything live at such events is good. That only worked with the Java projects under /examples so far. If you have a chance maybe you could ask infra what types of Jenkins nodes exist and if there are also dedicated .NET/Windows build servers? Of course unless Microsoft as major Apache sponsor contributed such licenses, it may require to run "Mono" or at least a product good to use for Open Source purposes without a large commecial license. Jenkins works with .NET but so far I only saw these nodes in companies and corporate environments.
