SUSE partners with Xamarin
SUSE has entered into a deal with Xamarin to bring products to market faster and to more effectively support customers using Mono-based products. The agreement grants Xamarin a broad, perpetual licence 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 community project.
Mono is a software platform designed to allow developers to easily create cross-platform applications. Mono helps developers leverage a .NET ecosystem of code, libraries and tools to develop or port applications to non-Windows platforms, including Linux, Mac OS X, Apple iOS and Google Android. This agreement allows Xamarin to accelerate product commercialisation, and more rapidly bring to market next-generation, cross-platform mobile application development tools based on Mono.
The partnership agreement also ensures that current and future SUSE 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. Current SUSE customers using Mono developer tools, including MonoTouch, Mono for Android and Mono Tools for Visual Studio, will receive support and updates directly from Xamarin for the remainder of their subscription period.
