As Microsoft and Sun Microsystems prep new Web services development platforms for debut this spring, Linux developers can expect the Mono Project to be completed not long after--by early fall. At Web Services Edge East here, Ximian CTO and Mono Project leader Miguel de Icaza told attendees that the version 1.0 server-side components of the software will be delivered in September. The Mono Project is a community initiative launched by Ximian to develop an open-source version of the Microsoft .Net development platform for Linux and Unix.
