Comments on: Miguel de Icaza Joins Microsoft http://techrights.org/2009/09/10/miguel-de-icaza-codeplex/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:00:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Roy Schestowitz http://techrights.org/2009/09/10/miguel-de-icaza-codeplex/comment-page-1/#comment-73368 Roy Schestowitz Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:47:54 +0000 http://boycottnovell.com/?p=18050#comment-73368 Oracle would be very much committed to Java. For years it has been trying to untangle .NET, which recently turned against Oracle. To quote some PR bunny, "Microsoft’s decision to deprecate System.Data.OracleClient has left software developers and architects wondering how best to connect .NET applications to Oracle databases. The latest release of DataDirect Connect for ADO.NET version 3.3 featuring Entity Framework support for Oracle answers the call and provides fully featured design to boost success with the Entity Framework."

The goal of mono is to stop developers from moving to or back to FOSS, lock out other proprietary technologies and really lock in M$. Java, even if it were to sit still for 10 years, would still have mono beaten.

[00:01] Monodevelop 2.2 does not work using mono for windows [00:01] It needs .net framework 3.5 to run [00:01] This is funny [00:01] Monodevelop for windows does not work with mono for windows [00:01] NoDevelop! This way , novell does not help to use free .net alternatives instead , it promotes the latest proprietary .net [00:01] I was thinking…..
[00:01] Monodevelop 2.2 does not work using mono for windows
[00:01] It needs .net framework 3.5 to run
[00:01] This is funny
[00:01] Monodevelop for windows does not work with mono for windows
[00:01] NoDevelop!

This way , novell does not help to use free .net alternatives instead , it promotes the latest proprietary .net

Not that the need to deal with Microsoft proponents has diminished, just that the scope of the problem has changed and become more well defined. Maybe the site name should reflect that change. Register a new name and run both names. Let visitors segue to the new name over time. Microsoft proponents, OpenSuse or Mono or others, are not just traitors to their former FOSS communities but to their home countries and home communities. I was just considering that, too.

I have an aversion to internet chat, but is talk about another name for this site part of the conversation? On the other hand, I suppose many people still consider OpenSuse within the Linux fold, and not a traitor to the community. They need education, and so perhaps the name should remain. What are your thoughts Roy? As Novell is increasingly Microsoftized, is the name of this website becoming irrelevant?
