[Mono-list] proselytizing

[Abe Gillespie]

Vlad,

It probably won't do your presentation justice, but my uISV site is
totally Mono with some cool stuff like being Postgres-backed and
integrating with the Google Checkout API.  When orders are processed,
it does on-demand software compilation to generate a license assembly.
 And calls into NAnt and NSIS to create an installation package.

If nothing else, it's a good example of a small shop working
successfully with FOSS.

Kudos to Miguel and his amazing team at Novell.
