The Mono Summit 2007 will be hosted by UNED at their Escuelas Pias location venue in Madrid, Spain.

The meeting will be split in two:

• Mono Contributors: 2-day meeting for contributors to the Mono project on November 26th and 27th.
• Mono Users and Developers: 3-day meeting for developers and users of the Mono platform.

For more details see our Mono Summit 2007 page.

Miguel de Icaza has written a statement on Mono's position to the opening of the .NET source code.

Since the source code release from Microsoft later this year will not be open source, this code will have no impact on Mono's schedule as it will not be able to use any of the information included in this code.

Mono's policy on contributions continues to be the same that we have had over the years: if you have seen Microsoft .NET source code in any shape or form (soure code, decompilers, through NDAs or research licenses), you will not be able to contribute patches to the Mono implementation.

For more details about Mono's policies, see our contributing page.
