[Mono-dev] To say hello and ask some questions about Mono...

[Michał Smereczyński]

Hello there,
My name is Michael Smereczynski. I'm vice-chairman of Aegis - Polish 
open source software foundation (we pretend to be like Apache Software 
Foundation but now we are doing our job only in Poland).

Personally, I'm not a programmer (but I allways wanted to do something 
by myself - maybe in future). So if I'll ask You something stupid, 
please don't hurt me ;)

I am a man who comes from the assumption that the Linux users do not 
need to be evangelized in using and creating open source software. I 
dream that Windows users and programmers were so "open" as Linux users. 
that's why I became interested in .NET and C#. I'm interested in cloud 
computing solutions too, so I know Windows Azure, where developers using 
Windows platform have an easier life...

What is Mono status today? Is it posible to let Microsoft to help in 
developing Mono?

Best regards,
Michael
