I wonder if someone in this list has any experience in fund-raising for open-source projects... well I´m certain there is someone.
Being Ubuntu such a popular distro, and being .NET such a popular framework, "mono for Ubuntu" could perhaps make some company think of sparing some bucks for it, for its own user, or for the "publicity" value of it. I mean, "some hundreds man-hours" account to a few thousand dollars, maybe it could be a justifiable effort for Google Summer of Code, Canonical itself, or one of these new "crowdsourcing" portals. well, just my $0.015 :-D greets On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 4:04 PM, Thomas Mayer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I just wanted to add, that the guys and girls at Xamarin now have > different priorities than to decide whether or not to change their > default packaging system.
