J's Goals (inside MSFT)

     - Create a list of .NET Oss apps, with ratings and user comments allowed

     - "Adopt an OSS Project" program for DPE

OSS Users don't care what technology or even if it is Open Source

OSS ... Why do developers use it? I can tinker with it. But I need to know the language.

Microsoft needs to stop the FUD about Open Source ... don't ever see a MSFT person dispute that

OS Applications being used: 

Using WordPress

Spring.NET 

      Transaction management, precoded attributes for AOP

nUnit, nHibernate, nAnt,

iCSharpCode

     SharpDeveloper

          IDE

          Step back from VS but still very good

          Can use the code editor and use it as a separate component
