O Miguel de Icaza einai o leader tou GNOME,

------------------
Open Source developer Miguel de Icaza, leader of the GNOME project and
founder of Ximian, has been exploring Microsoft's .NET platform with an
open mind. When I interviewed him over a month ago, he told me
that he was impressed with .NET. Then he was only
beginning to think about the implications of
Microsoft.NET in the Open Source community. Since
then, he has organized a new project called Mono, which
will try to build a free implementation of .NET
for UNIX systems. Ximian will dedicate some resources to
this project, but like any Open Source project,
its success will depend heavily on contributions from
independent developers.
".NET is an interesting mix of technologies," said
Miguel de Icaza. He likes the C# language, and he is
particularly impressed by .NET's component architecture and its
development tools. .NET provides developers with a
state-of-the-art development environment, one that leaps
ahead of open source alternatives. "With .NET,
Microsoft is starting with a clean slate and building for
the future," said de Icaza in an interview. "It's a
new development environment for the next twenty
years."
