[DotNet-OSGeo] Too quiet...

[Michael P. Gerlek]

This list hasn't seen any action lately, so I'll try to start something...  
  - What are people working on?
  - Is anyone going to the Montreal code sprint next month?
  - What problems are people facing in the .NET open source world?


My responses:

- I've just pushed the first release of SlimDXControl
(slimdxcontrol.codeplex.com), a WPF control which hides all the messiness of
the infamous D3DImage control, so you can more easily do DirectX/D3D10
graphics inside of a WPF app.

- I'll be attending the Montreal sprint, working on liblas (www.liblas.org)
stuff.  It's C++, but I'm adding C# bindings as we go along.  Lidar is k00l.

- I've left my old job and am freelancing these days, aiming to specialize
in helping people at the intersection of {open source, geo, C#/.NET}.  I see
a lot of people in the .NET world who could use open source alternatives,
but as they often come from the "traditional" Microsoft world they aren't as
used to the dynamics of the communities we play in nor are they familiar
with how to find the domain-specific packages that could help them, e.g. geo
stuff.  Any ideas how can we help out here?
