I am doing some quick preparations for a Gtk# Installer for .NET Framework that will bundle GTK+ 2.8.6 and Gtk# 2.4. If all goes well, I will then do one with Gtk# 2.6.

I bought my seat for BrainShare 2006! As a lot of you may recall, I only managed to attend the first day of this year's BrainShare 2005 in Salt Lake City. Novell is at a very decisive point in their history, but I am confident that by June-July a lot of public and private enterprises will flock to the company's great product line.

I am also putting together the course materials for a five day introductory course about mono. This course is in Spanish and it will likely be given to a group of professional developers in South America. We are still negotiating this engagement, but regardless of the outcome, I will have this offering ready for future parties interested and will soon begin working on an English version of the course.

On Tuesday, I will meet with my great friend Matt Gutierrez! It will be a short meeting but an important one, since I have not been able to give him the effusive thanks that I owe him since his appearance at Paquito's funeral.

I am very happy to see that both Kevin and Joseph keep collaborating and working towards great .NET/mono content that could eventually be presented at the next OSCON.

Finally, my niece Cari, has relocated to Texas. Cari is the 25 year old daughter of my late brother Cuco. For the exception of my two late brothers' (Cuco and Gabo) remains and that of my dad (Roger Mart�nez) , we are now all in Texas. Don Roger would have never imagined!
