Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

Cross platform, open source .NET framework The Mono Project (mono/mono) (‘original mono’) has been an important part of the .NET ecosystem since it was launched in 2001. Microsoft became the steward of the Mono Project when it acquired Xamarin in 2016.

We want to recognize that the Mono Project was the first .NET implementation on Android, iOS, Linux, and other operating systems. A growing family of solutions and an active and enthusiastic contributing community is helping position Mono to become the leading choice for development of cross platform applications.
