mono is planned to launch on Kickstarter on 21. October and on the website www.getmono.com
We would like to involve element14 users before going live, so if anyone is interested in providing ideas, use cases, or just general feedback, we welcome it very much. I will try to organize all the information in this thread, back and forth to get the most out of the process. At the moment, we cannot offer much besides the possibility to help shape and tribute to a cool product, that hopefully most of you can see yourselves using in the future.
For those interested to get a deeper involvement – We are also looking for 5 hardware makers and 5 software makers, who would like to beta test on some of the first Hardware and Software available. This way you can help finalize and bug test the mono before it is ready to ship to Kickstarter backers.
If you are interested, see our website www.getmono.com
Thank you very much in advance, and let me know what you think.
best regards
mono
