NewsForge: DotGNU Project Looks for Ideas, Developers During 36-hour IRC Meet-a-thon

“DotGNU , a Free Software Web services project that’s a response
to Microsoft’s .NET, is hosting a 36-hour marathon IRC meet-a-thon
this weekend aimed at interested developers and experienced
contributors to hash over some issues.

“DotGNU could be known as the Free Software .NET-like Project

“The IRC meeting runs from 10 a.m. GMT Saturday to 10 p.m. GMT
Sunday and is organized into sessions starting every four hours,

at irc.openprojects.net#dotgnu..”
