I came up with a really nice set of scripts to get Mono 2.8 running here: http://www.integratedwebsystems.com/201 ... tu-fedora/. I have been using and adapting those scripts to get my environment up to date.

It might help you to get your Mono environment up to date easier.

UPDATE: Nathan has been updating the script to install the most up-to date mono environment.

You better get the script there: http://www.integratedwebsystems.com/201 ... sh-script/


The one to get monodevelop 2.8.8.4 up and running is here:
http://patux.net/downloads/mono/install ... 2.8.8.4.sh

(It Includes the fix to disable the broken sample test in gnome-sharp 2.24.1 described here: http://www.mono-hispano.org/error-compi ... /#more-149

You better set the environment variables to work with the recent mono, after you have build and install your environment.

MONO_PREFIX=/opt/mono-2.10
GNOME_PREFIX=/usr
export DYLD_LIBRARY_FALLBACK_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_FALLBACK_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

1. Description of the Conference and Generals.


The “Festival de Software Libre” (FSL) is one of the biggest and more important FLOSS events in México, this time was its 9th anual edition. The FSL is characterized by bringing together many of free software community in the country to share experiences, ideas, knowledge, promote & publicize FLOSS projects and recruit new talent to join projects, FLOSS culture among new users, professionals, students, etc. The conference is mainly sponsored by the University of Guadalajara (http://www.udg.mx) and a local Linux Users Group GLO (http://glo.org.mx).

The conference promotes exchange of ideas between participants ranging from students to professionals and experts. For students (who is still the majority of the conference attendance) is an invaluable opportunity to learn from the experts, live chat directly with the creators of the software and leaders of national and international projects.

In short: It's a feast for the exchange of knowledge, experience and camaraderie

2. Conference Participation


Juan Navarro and Me as part of Intel, pressented a talk entitled: “La Interoperabilidad: Ques, Comos y Porques”. What Interoperability is, Why interoperability among different systems is important, how to archive, some common problems and how to solve it. In our talk we have the chance to talk with people learning about interoperability, and many of them already faced that issue in their own projects, and already solved in a way, we have the opportunity to share our experiences with them and exchange points of view. The audience were highly participative.

As usual YaCOMAS (A project I led), gained lot of lines of code and improvements. Almost every piece of the data flow at the conference was controled by YaCOMAS allowing the organizers to improve the ime spend on registration, accommodation and payment for the audience attending.

Inicio el jueves 26 de Mayo con la conferencia de Jon "maddog" Hall Back to the Future the return of control, en el Paraninfo de la Universidad de Guadalajara, donde ademas aprovechamos muchos de Linuxeros y programadores a conocidos a reunirnos con excusa de este evento. Reseña en el periodico milenio. Que por cierto me dio un gustazo volver a ver despues de muchos muchos años a Luis Miguel Arteaga Mejia fundador del Grupo Linux de Occidente




Por la tarde continuo en LinuxCabal, donde dicen que la reunion fue epica (Fotos en la liga).

Yo sali ese mismo Jueves para Lagos de Moreno a dar la platica Una mirada a la cultura hacker, en el 3er. Congreso Nacional de Ingenierias de Lagos de Moreno el Viernes a las 10:30am.

Regrese el Viernes por la tarde a Guadalajara para la proxima reunion geek en HackerGarage la cual tambien estuvo epica.

El sabado fue de relax, varios asistimos al Rojo Cafe , ya que el Mago Linuxero @gozner tenia show y nos invito a acompañarlo.

El domingo fue dia de GdlDevHOuse a la cual tambien estuvo muy genial y divertida ;-).

Mi fin de semana en resumen: "maddog" en paraninfo, @glo_mx, @linuxcabal, hackerculture, @hackergarage, @rojocafe y @gdldevhouse :-)

De verdad que parecio un pequeño congreso :-) Da gusto saber que la comunidad esta muy activa en el Occidente de México. Cada uno de estos pequeños eventos merece una reseña en particular pero fue mucho mejor vivirla ;-)

Gustazo ver y convivir con tanta gente interesante: Jon "maddog" Hall (@maddoghall), Goby (@pgoby), Oscar Perez (@quiron), Sandino Araico (@Kbrown), Alejandro Lopez (@alezlopezgdl), Mago Gozner (@gozner), Argel Arias (@levhita), Basilio Briceño (@bbhx), Rolando Cedillo (@rolman), Gabriel Orozco (@redimido), Patricio Paez (@ppaez). Richard Couture de LinuxCabal, Juan Pablo Ortiz (@pablasso), Don Carr y muchos muchos mas que he olvidado poner en este post :-)

La razon de hacerlo es por varias modificaciones que se le han hecho al codigo y adecuaciones para el Festival de Software Libre Vallarta 2010 especialmente por (@levhita).

Entre las nuevas monadas que tiene este estan:

* Diseñador de Calendario automatico
* Foto de perfil de ponente
* Lista de ponentes y su perfil
* Lista de ponencias aceptadas

Entre otros cambios y fixes al codigo.

Por aca el Changelog

Esta version es aun hecha con base en el codigo original y no el intento de nueva version con CodeIgniter

Desde aqui una gran agradecimiento a @levhita por su ayuda para liberar esta version.

Tambien debo presumirles que ya hace algun tiempo Balsamiq Mockups, nos dono 3 licencias para el desarrollo de YaCOMAS.

Y el cual fue clave para dise�ar las nuevas vistas de esta version elaboradas por @levhita.

Aqui un sketch :-)
