I'll be giving a talk on MbUnit at the next ThoughtWorks geek night here in Manchester, UK on the 27th of August . The night will be a double bill, right after me Chris Morris will be leading a workshop designed to find out what you believe quality means in the software you develop. The talk I will give...

MbUnit has achieved a lot in 2 and half years, it was around that time that Peli joined Microsoft and MbUnits future was undecided. Peli wanted to open-source MbUnit but with his new role was unable to do so. I asked Peli and Jamie if I could take this on and the code was released to Tigris and later...

Master Jedi Jeff had an itch in between Gallio coding and over on the Gallio contrib coded up a Instrumentation API using Mono Cecil , very sweet. The contrib section is just something that is not on any channel and we keep to throw out our ideas. As Jeff states in his post if other folks like his ideas...

I'm rather hooked on Facebook, it's almost myspace meets friends reunited and is all all grown up :) It's a great place to connect with folks and it's really amazing who is on the site. Jamie mentioned it a while back but I have added a facebook group for MbUnit fans here , if your a MbUnit fan and on...

Opensource is a funny old game, we do it for love (of software) and not love of money. You work when you want and how you want. You get to use technologies and explore ideas that are not constrained by your management\clients. You also get to work with and learn from some of the brightest minds in the...

My hat off to Jeff Atwood for offering to help fund (matched by Microsoft no less) OSS . Each project has its own costs, often met by the folks on the project (including out of my own pocket) so every single cash donation is a great help of keeping those costs down. I would also like to make sure that...

Gerard Meszaros's new book, xunit patterns has been published. It's great to see this book in print, for a long time I was a reader of the wiki site that Gerard used to build up the patterns and I was a tech reviewer on the book (along with folks such as Jeremy Miller , Owen Rodgers (CCnet lead), Cedric...

Jim (who looks so much like Robin Williams.....sorry Jim but you do :) and James have a short interview on the O'Reilly windows dev center for their Windows Developer Power Tools book. The interview does mention about MbUnit's combinational testing and the book features row and combintional testing...

CodeRush have shown a preview of their new TestRunner with NUnit and MbUnit support right out of the box . Jeff and the Gallio team have done a lot of work with these kinds of test execution engines (Gallio supports the R# TestRunner for example) and hopefully the CodeRush guys will connect.

New month, new year, new decade and my first post (well not strictly speaking but I was getting complaints). I'm going to try and start posting more often this year and hopefully get back to posting about MbUnit again (I've even started contributing again, more on that at a later date). To kick things...
