Expert predicts OpenOffice revolution

'Expert predicts OpenOffice revolution' is a very interesting article... Nice to see my analisys/predictions of/for the Open Source market evolution being independently confirmed...

Bamboo.Prevalence is running in my linux box, but I'm not happy with it yet...

Bamboo.Prevalence is a .NET/Mono implementation of the object prevalence concept brought to life by Klaus Wuestefeld in his Prevayler system.


I'm trying to guarantee it works with Mono, and I believe I mostly achieved that, but:

• In order for us not to have two binaries it still gives warnings about trying to P/Invoke on a Kernel32 API on Linux, and may do the reverse on Windows with .NET as it won't find the used Mono InternalCall


• I could not verify yet that the used InternalCall really connects with the Flush subroutine in mono/mono/io-layer/io.c

Monologue:: An Aggregation of Project Mono Hacker's Blogs

Quite amusing what my fellow hacker at mono, cook up in their blogs, aggregated at Monologue::. I especially like what LLuis and Ben Maurer write, as they are clear and direct to the real meat...

Make me fill sorry, about not having time to write beautifull short essays here...

MonoWiki - Mono Certified

In response to an email I started this small effort at Mono's Wiki: MonoWiki - Mono Certified

The idea of a Mono-Certified Gallery or Repository, hanged around lately , see:

   http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2003-September/015895.html



A crude start of it is at our Mono Wiki: 

   http://www.nullenvoid.com/mono/wiki/index.php/MonoCertified



But I felt phpwiki is too limiting in formatting (I've been using twiki, for Mono Brasil). 

For example, I didn't even dare to try some html tables at it, what would certainly be

 the best presentation for such kind of information.



Also I dream of a giant cascading web of continuous building engines to update 

the status properly (either tinderbox, or nant-enabled draco.net), but that is further 

down the road...

If you are not afraid of trying to read Portuguese you can give it a try, see the link in the sidebar...

Starting it

Well, we have to start someday...
