This week has been excellent for me and for the OpenSource community. I have several others have been at the Microsoft New England Research and Development center in Cambridge, MA developing on several applications. We have developers working on Banshee, Tomboy F-Spot, MonoDevelop, Plastic, Pinta and even some random projects.
The energy and brainpower that I feel this week is phenomenal. I also feel a real purpose in the room. I think partly because everyone here is focused on development and working together. The quality of persons and the desire to work together is outstanding.
I am very excited to report that at the end of Thursday I had Tomboy on OSX running and loading notes. We are using the new Tomboy-library and MonoMac and with these two pieces the development process has been minimal. Robert Nordan has been working on Tomboy-library this week and has a sweet search function implemented.
Here is an example from the current development of Tomboy for OSX.

Big thanks from us to Microsoft, GNOME and others for sponsoring us this week.
