The session has been cancelled because the speaker (that would be me),
couldn't make it to Paris in time due to a power failure on the TGV
line between Paris and Lyon (an overhead line broke around 8am, all
trains were delayed between 3 and 5 hours). I warned the TechDays
organization on the morning, they said they'll broadcast the
cancellation.

That's simply not true. I've been talking about Mono for the last 5
years at different Microsoft events in France. I also give talks at
locals alt.net events. Miguel presented Moonlight for the first time
at the Mix conference in Paris.

Mono, is an open-source project, and everyone is encouraged to give
talks and «make some buzz». You're welcome to help.
