[Geoffrey Huntley]

Tomas and Karel from MSFT have some updates for us, in short, the
full-scale battle can start and volunteers are needed.

- FreeBSD: implement System.Diagnostic.Process:
https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/24292
- FreeBSD: System.Console is not working right:
https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/24259

Hi I just dropped a twitter to Karel (suddenly feel less smart) and
this was his response:

"Yep, I was poking at a plan internally first. Got some hinys and will
reply tomorrow. Tomas even made some progress ."

Sweet!

Just an FYI: I found Karel's email address and dropped him a private
message for more information (I also don't use twitter). I wanted to
wait for permission before publishing any information on the mono
mailing list (including his email address etc).

I had the DotNet CORE and CLR running on FreeBSD using the
instructions posted way back when. I also asked about more information
a few months back on the DotNet forums but I can't find the message.
The response was that "nothing was happening at the time".

Hi Geoffrey

It is great to hear there is more interest in finishing the port of .NET Core 
to FreeBSD (and, I hope, to have ports living in the Port's Collection).  

Would it be possible for you to put me (and the mono@ mailing list) in touch 
with Karel and Tomas - I'm not on Twitter.  

I'll reply to this email (dropping ports@ and advocacy@) with more technical 
details.

Regards

David

Hi,

yet.)

.NET Core is mostly used as a server software platform, mostly web APIs 
and the like. At this point it's unlikely you would encounter this in 
regular end user software. I have the impression that it's especially 
popular with for microservices - for the .NET crowd, that is.


I'm going to have a look to see if there's anything I can do.

To quote from "Field of Dreams", "If you build it, they will come". In any
event, if you ever hope to expand FreeBSD into the market place, you need to
explore as many avenues as possible.
