DESCRIPTION
The Mono Project is an open development initiative sponsored by Novell to develop an open source, UNIX version of the Microsoft .NET development platform. Its objective is to enable UNIX developers to build and deploy cross-platform .NET applications, and can run on Linux, BSD, UNIX, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows operating systems.This presentation will provide an introduction to Mono 2.0 and show how it brings the benefits of the .NET framework to platforms beyond Windows. Part of the presentation will also cover the state of open source development in the .NET space and what Microsoft needs to ensure that .NET-based open source initiatives flourish.

write-once-run-everywherecapability along with its easy
accessibility have propelled the software and Internet communities to
embrace it as the de facto standard for writing applications for complex
networks"- Jan 23rd, 1996*

.NET – Background
In August 2000, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel worked to standardize CLI and the C# programming
language.
By December 2001, both were ratified ECMA standards (ECMA 335 and ECMA 334).
ISO followed in April 2003 - the current version of the ISO standards are ISO/IEC 23271:2006 and ISO/IEC
23270:2006.

to come and pound down on. There's a clear line of responsibility.”
