Xamarin Strikes Mono Deal With SUSE

Xamarin, the company founded to deliver products based on Mono, has announced the immediate availability of MonoTouch and Mono for Android from the Xamarin web store.

Through an agreement with SUSE, a business unit of The Attachmate Group — which acquired former Mono owner Novell in April 2011 — Xamarin has a broad, perpetual license to all intellectual property covering Mono, MonoTouch, Mono for Android and Mono Tools for Visual Studio.

Xamarin will also provide technical support to SUSE customers using Mono-based products and assume stewardship of the Mono open-source project, company officials said.

Xamarin’s Mono-based products enable .NET developers to use their existing code, libraries and tools such as Microsoft’s Visual Studio, as well as skills in .NET and the C# programming language, to create mobile applications for popular mobile devices, including Android-based smartphones and tablets, iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches.

“The confluence of transformations taking place today in both front-end client devices and back-end cloud services is expected to lead to healthy growth in application-development technologies,” Al Hilwa, research director for Application Development Software at IDC, said in a statement. “Application-development tools and runtimes that support multiple mobile platforms and tap into sizeable existing developer ecosystems are expected to lead this growth.”

“Our mission is to make it fast, easy and fun to build great mobile apps, whether for individual consumers or for enterprises,” said Nat Friedman, founder and CEO of Xamarin, in a statement. “Since the introduction of MonoTouch in 2009, developers have experienced how Mono can streamline mobile-application development. Xamarin will continue to innovate to deliver incredible experiences to iOS and Android developers.”

Xamarin engineers are already at work on stability improvements and performance optimizations, and maintenance updates will be released to customers imminently. Additionally, a number of major improvements for MonoTouch and Mono for Android, including support for iOS 5, Xcode 4 and Android Honeycomb, will be released in the coming months, the company said.

MonoTouch, Mono for Android and Mono Tools for Visual Studio customers will receive support and updates directly from Xamarin for the remainder of their subscription period. Xamarin also introduced a priority support option for mobile products. Customers who upgrade to MonoTouch Enterprise Priority and Mono for Android Enterprise Priority will receive access to the priority support queue and a guaranteed response time.

Xamarin will also assume stewardship of the Mono, MonoDevelop and Moonlight open-source projects. In addition, the agreement with SUSE ensures current and future SUSE — formerly Novell — customers hosting applications on SUSE Linux Enterprise Mono Extension application server will continue to receive full commercial support for their platform from SUSE, backed by Xamarin, the company said.

“We are very pleased to enter into this agreement with Xamarin because our customers deserve nothing less than the brightest team of experts to provide ongoing maintenance and support for our commercial Mono products,” Nils Brauckmann, president and general manager of SUSE, said in a statement.

“This partnership is a triple win — a win for SUSE, a win for Xamarin, but most importantly, a win for our customers, users and community,” Brauckmann added. “our partnership ensures SUSE customers continue to get the best support possible, enables the bright team at Xamarin to achieve success in their promising new venture, and provides continuity of stewardship for the Mono open-source community project in the very capable hands of its most passionate evangelists.”

Australië wil actie aanval op CIA, Sony en Citigroup

Dat kondigt Robert McClelland, procureur-generaal van Australië, aan tegenover Reuters. de acties volgen na verschillende aanvallen op internationale bedrijven als Sony en op overheden.

De afgelopen weken is de hackersgroep LulzSec erg actief. Naast een aanval op Sony, de Amerikaanse senaat en de CIA werd ook een aanval uitgevoerd op de Amerikaanse bank Citigroup. Ook in Australië worden steeds meer aanvallen geregistreerd.

Volgens McClelland is het daarom tijd voor actie. “Geen enkele natie kan deze problemen alleen tegenhouden. Een internationale samenwerking is essentieel.” Australië zal zich binnenkort dan ook aansluiten bij een Europees initiatief voor samenwerking op het gebied van cybercrime genaamd the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime.

Meer dan veertig landen hebben zich al aangesloten of zullen dit op korte termijn doen. Onder meer de Verenigde Staten, het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Canada en Japan maken deel uit van het initiatief.

Australië zal bovendien ook proberen een aantal nationale wetten te wijzigen waardoor hackers gemakkelijker opgespoord en aangepakt kunnen worden. Zo wil McClelland dat de Australische politie en opsporingsdiensten providers kunnen verplichten bepaalde informatie langer op te slaan dan nu toegestaan is.

De wetten moeten nog wel goedgekeurd worden door het parlement.

Woensdag werd ook duidelijk dat de Australische webhost Distribute.IT na een aanval afgelopen weekend bijna vijfduizend websites is kwijtgeraakt. de schade aan verschillende servers kan waarschijnlijk niet meer hersteld worden.

Omdat ook back-ups verloren zijn gegaan, zijn zeker 4800 Australiërs hun website kwijt, blijkt uit een verklaring van het bedrijf.
