Hey, good to hear from you.  Also nice to hear there's some .Net interest.

Negroni is being hosted on Google Code here:
http://code.google.com/p/negroni/

Myspace is not actively contributing any longer, but the implementation is
available under the Apache license.  I have also moved on to other items
and have not been actively maintaining the project, so it's a little out of
date.

Negroni is not an "out of the box" OpenSocial container like Shindig, but
rather a fast parsing engine that has an OpenSocial Gadget parser written
on top of it and the basic hooks to tie into APIs that can hydrate the .Net
based OpenSocial data contracts.

I'd be happy to help you get started with this code base if you are
interested in trying to move it forward and get a good .Net OpenSocial
option available in the market.
