Daniel: You are becoming a sort of celebrity among my direct contacts -- a bunch of Mono, Linux and .NET ethusiast in Dalla/Fort Worth Metroplex.
Don't you dare stopping the great work you are doing -- PLEASE!!!!!! Matt Gutierrez and myself are on a path to evangelize everyone we come in contact with. I have a full time day job were I design and architect solutions for a company that is 97% Microsoft Windows Technology based. They are constantly trying to look for better and more affordable solutions. Matt and I fanatically believe that Mono/Linux is it!!!!!!!!! In the months to come we will have a lot more infrastructure build to serve our humble independent efforts, and at that point, we will be in a better position to contribute more aggressively to all things Mono -- especially the Windows expertise part of it. Without your contributions, it simply would not be possible to accomplish this. You can show Windows culture people a lot of things in a linux laptop. There is a lot of awe when you build something in MS Visual Studio and later run it on a Linux box using mint to demonstrate how it "just simply runs"! But that is not quite the demo I do now days. In fact I will argue that the above mentioned makes for a good novelty that only perpetuates the running of MS Tools. The latest little demo I show off today is more like this: I run the combine Mono .30 / GTK# .15 install you did on a stand alone windows box. I go to my laptop and fire up MonoDevelop, and build a quick GTK# project form scratch. I add some menu entries to show off code completion in the editor. Build and run. later I copy all of the three resulting *.cs files to the Windows box and compile using mcs from the cmd.exe prompt. I then run the resulting exe from the command line. I get some uhh-ahh(s)! -- maybe. But here is the best part. I follow up with a run of sqlsharpgtk where I do a MS SQL Server query and an invocation of "exec sp_who2". I show the grid output and the texpad output. Finally, I export the resulting query to XML. I open the xml file with Internet Explorer. The rest of the story goes like this. All present -- mainly C# but some VB .NET programmer types -- immediately ask to download the combine Mono/GTK# installer. Later they ask me what distro I run, followed with the infallible: "Can you send me an email with the links to all of that stuff" "Can you show this to my boss?" "When will you be available for a demonstration to a larger audience?" Now I ask you. Do you realize just how important the work you do is? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Paco Martinez http://www.mfconsulting.com/aboutus/personnel/martinf.htm PS Todd, Sebastian, Lluis, Eno, Jackson, Dick, Paolo, Duncan, Miguel, Uhrs, and Maxi thank you so much for making Matt and I feel like family on the last Mono Developer meeting at Boston!
