"The latest release of Mono, an open source implementation of Microsoft's .Net platform, bundles a Visual Basic compiler authored by Rolf Bjarne. The compiler -- itself written in Visual Basic -- will ease development and deployment of applications written in one of the most popular programing languages.

Visual Basic support in Mono isn't new. Past versions of Mono have bundled a VB runtime component that allows VB applications to run under Linux."

It looks as if the world of mojoPortal keeps on expanding. Joe Audette writes:

I'm very happy to announce a new sub project to implement a Project Management Solution based on the principles of the Project Management Institute (PMI), that integrates with mojoPortal.

Thiago Alves will be the Project Manager and Lead Developer for this project.

"Wow, I'm watching the webcast announcement of the partnership  between Microsoft and Novell and I'm so happy I can hardly believe it! I'm a small stakes shareholder in both companies and happy from an investment standpoint but even more excited as a technologist and developer with a long history in development in the Microsoft platform and a more recent (past several years) experience in working with Linux having been drawn in by Mono, the open source project sponsored by Novell that allows me to use my Micorsoft .NET skills on Linux."

When open source projects becomes more popular the project leaders often need to increase the time spent on their projects. The increasingly popular Windows-based content management system (CMS), mojoPortal, is no exception to this rule. mojoPortal's project leader, Joe Audette, recently announced on his blog that he is currently making career changes show he can better nurture the mojoPortal project along:

I'm still currently working full time for Integration Management of Brentwood TN until November 15. After that I will still be doing some work for them but mainly launching Source Tree Solutions so I can devote more time to advancing mojoPortal. I'm very excited and full of ideas to take mojoPortal to the next level.

In other words, with mojoPortal now getting full time attention by its developers, don't be surprised to see some surprisingly good things to evolve from this CMS.

Last summer, we did a review of mojoPortal and the article continues to remain one of CMS Report's most read article to date. While mojoPortal may not always make the headlines, make no mistake that there is strong interest in this up and coming content management system. I wish Joe Joe Audette and all those with the mojoPortal project well.

"I just updated this site to the latest 2.1.1 from svn for final testing before the release this weekend.

This release will include the new localization model which detects the browser language and uses resource for that language if available. So anyone visiting this site using one of the languages we currently have translations for should see the labels and buttons in their own language."
