In the past I’ve talked about Tomboy, that i was not liking too much to have a Mono application in all my computers, but that Tomboy sync feature was really too good for me, well it seems that someone else has decided that it’s times for me to switch to another Notes program.
In a recent post on Ubuntu One blog Canonical announced that its Cloud service (U1, aka Ubuntu One) will cease syncing Tomboy Notes to U1, meaning U1 won’t transfer your notes between computers.
As first thing i want to say that i’m not so well informed about the background of the Mono
project, his licenses model and possible implications, and I’m trying to get an idea after reading a few posts on techrights.org.
In fact I read on techrights very strong words against this project, and so I’m trying to understand something more.
But first: what is’ exactly the Mono project?
From mono site:
Mono is a software platform designed to allow developers to easily create cross platform applications. Sponsored by Novell (http://www.novell.com/), Mono is an open source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET Framework based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common Language Runtime.
