Creation of a proper Mono PPA

Hello to everyone on the mailing list! I've found myself very interested in C# development lately as well as upcoming new technologies in the .NET sphere (OWIN, vNext). Lots of it is going to be runnable on Mono, which despite any historical misgivings about Microsoft one might have, is pretty

Hmm, if that was something I felt confident in doing, I would, but I'm more a user of C# than someone knowledgeable enough to head up the entire process. I'll definitely be installing and running any such efforts though! On Sun, Jun 15, 2014 at 3:08 PM, Robie Basak robie.ba...@ubuntu.com wrote:

I wanted to separately mention the whole fixing of the Xamarin Debian CI. Is that something anyone here could do? I'm not sure what that process would entail or how far it would necessarily get us. But maybe that's what they want? On 15 Jun 2014 22:38, Christopher James Halse Rogers

Just curious... did not see any response after I sent the screen shot. I've managed work arounds for most of my issues, some are awkward, some slow me down, but I am back to a mostly workable system... especially since I discovered Nemo, a file browser that knows who the boss is (ie *me* ;-) and
