[MonoDevelop] [Mono-dev] MonoSummit: Planning the Sessions

[Brock Reeve]

I like the idea of having a debugging session. I am a VS.NET brat and am 
struggling with the best way to debug (hunt down issues) and learn some of 
the Mono framework. I have created VS.NET solutions for System.Drawing and 
System.Windows.Forms so I could browse the source with VS.NET which helps. 
My current way is to build on Windows, copy the assemblies and use 
Console.Writeline to debug and learn stacks. Let's just say this is not 
ideal. So the session could be titled something like "Debugging Mono for 
VS.NET brats". Some ideas for a debugging session:

- What tools/processes do Mono developers use to develop?
- What is the easiest way for VS.NET developers to debug the framework?
- What is the process for submitting code changes (patch files)?


I also would like to see a session on the dependencies and the way modules 
are organized. For example, what the mono framework libraries call into 
and their dependencies. What parts are unmanged and which parts are 
managed etc. Here is some examples (the dependencies are things I have 
read and learned from buildling and might not be totally correct):

- Class libraries -> [glib-2.0] - [gthread-2.0] - [libgc]
- Moon -> [ffmpeg] - [GTK -> GDK] - [ALSA]
- System.Drawing -> [libgdiplus -> Cairo (statically linked into 
libgdiplus)]
