- Free Software Foundation Discourages Dependence on Mono, Dismisses Microsoft Community Promises 2 years 29 weeks ago
Last week, Microsoft extended the terms of their Community Promise to implementations of the ECMA 334 and 335 standards. You might think this means it's safe to write your software in C#. However, this promise is full of loopholes, and it's nowhere near enough to make C# safe.

- Get your GObject on with Vala 2 years 27 weeks ago
We've all heard the rants: Mono has patents, Microsoft releases community promise, community ignores, flamewars continue. Enough to make any developer want to stop programming out of sheer annoyance.
