I realize that there is a lot of frustration with Attachmate and the entire 
situation in general.  I know that I am upset over this.  Heck, I've had 
multiple thousands of $s get pulled off the table over this.  The roadmaps 
listed will never be completed.  At the same time, what would someone hope to 
gain besides 125% of the amount paid?  I don't think you can sue for your time 
in the US, but I am not a lawyer.  Would you be able to get the lawyer's fees 
back?  Lawsuits take a tremendous amount of time.  I'm not sure what country 
you are in, but I'm not sure that everyone can join the same lawsuit?
I think the best thing to do at this point is to start with:1.  Email.  Send an 
email, and yes, you will most likely have to guess the correct emails.  You can 
also send emails to the official addresses, such as [email protected] and 
similar.2.  Blog about this.  3.  Talk with the people in the media that you 
know and see if you can get their help.
4.  Registered letters to the attachmate, novell, and suse offices.

Subject: Re: [MonoTouch] Time for action

It's been over 2 weeks and I've yet to receive any reply on any of my enquiries 
either.
I even sent the same feedback on the article saying that they would continue to 
support Attachmate voicing my concerns and their lack of efforts MonoTouch/* 
and it's still "awaiting moderation"
http://www.novell.com/prblogs/?p=3793
Basically apart from saying that they would, they have shown no signs of 
supporting MonoTouch in any capacity since they retired the Mono team.

Not sure what the best way forward, apart from publicizing their non-existing 
support.

Attachmate has given us nothing, but lies.  Is anyone getting any real replies 
from anyone at Attachmate? We called support, and just got a weasel answer.


They claimed on their blog post that all Mono products will continue, but have 
yet to release *any* updates.


There have been no responses to bugs for weeks, no XCode4 support has been 
delivered, monodroid never got the crasher and performance fixes that were 
promised, none of the promised APIs, and none of the promised support for 
Honeycomb.



Does anyone have the email addresses of the Attachmate executives that have 
been commenting in the press on Mono? (Nils Brockman and Jeff Hawn).

We need to reach out to these people and explain to them that this is 
unacceptable. They do not seem to understand the first thing about what these 
products are, and how their decisions are impacting months of development for 
many developers.



I see people talking about refunds and fraud, but that is nothing compared to 
the man hours invested in the products these bozos killed. We made major 
commitments based on Novell's promises. 

A few weeks ago there was talk of a class-action lawsuit, did that go anywhere? 
I want to let Attachmate know that I plan to participate on that.
