Summary: The new release of Gnote and its significance

There will hopefully be a Ubuntu derivative out there which contains no Mono and instead contains packages like Gnote and Mononono (installed by default). Here are some programs such a derivative ought to avoid. █

“[...] we know that Microsoft is getting patents on some features of C#. So I think it’s dangerous to use C#, and it may be dangerous to use Mono.”
