A
Welcome
everybody
to
another
edition
of
the
done
foundation
project
spotlight
a
place
where
we
talk
about
really
great
foundation
projects,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
talk
about
jose
and
a
project
for
the
donna
foundation
that
he
runs.
So
do
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
introduce
yourself
by
the
way.
B
Yeah
sure
zach
isaac,
thank
you
for
the
limitation
for
being
here,
I'm
jose
mourinho,
I'm
from
portugal,
I'm
the
ceo
of
eclo,
a
company
that
I
founded
with
three
colors
from
university
back
in
2003.
We
offer
solutions
for
cold
chain
monitoring
mostly
for
agriculture,
pharma
foods
and
all
that
stuff.
We
also
have
a
business
unit
that
deals
with
the
embedded
systems
development
we
do
from
electronics,
design
and
also
firmware
at
some
point.
B
We
we
run
into
net
micro
framework
back
in
the
day,
which
was
a.
It
was
a
tool
that
we
loved
at
some
point
that
project
went
south
and
we
decided
to
to
revive.
A
B
It
wasn't
possible,
we
spin
it
off
me
and
a
couple
of
other
guys
and
we
started
the
net
nano
framework,
and
this
is
where
we
are
at
now.
A
B
Yes,
I
do
since
since
teenagers,
since
I
can
remember,
I
started
coding
with
with
the
zx
spectrum
from
sinclair
with
with
basic,
I
also
like
electronics.
I
I
used
to
do
my
my
own
pcbs,
so
this
is
something
that
it's
I've
been
doing
for
for.
As
long
as
I
know
me.
B
A
Developer,
one
of
the
things
that
I
do
see
a
lot
is
that
there's
not
a
ton
of
options,
for
you,
know,
building
stuff
on
small
devices
but
being
able
to
write
it
in
c
sharpening.net.
So
I
imagine.net
nano
framework
solves
the
problem
right.
B
Oh
yes,
absolutely
for
embedded
systems,
the
the
usual
thought
process.
Well,
the
framework
is
c
and
c
plus
plus,
but
this
is
not
true
for
a
long
time
you
can.
You
can
write
for
embedded
systems
using
dotnet
c-sharp,
that's
what
we
are
doing
here
and
when
we
are
talking
small
devices,
it's
even
smaller
in
constrained
than
than
a
raspberry.
For
example,
we
can
run
our
microcontroller
with
just
the
64k
of
ram
and
128
case
of
flash,
which
is
pretty
amazing.
A
A
One
thing
that
I
think
a
lot
of
dot-net
developers
would
love
to
find
out.
Is
you
know
how
easy
it
is
with
dot-net
nano
framework
just
getting
started
like?
Let's
just
use
the
canonical
example
like
a
raspberry
pi
right,
so
you
know
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
dot
net
nano
framework
allows
folks
to
do,
especially
in
that
tinker
space.
B
It
it
does
a
lot
and
you
can.
You
can
get
on
board
on
pretty
much
every
level
that
you
feel
comfortable
with.
You
just
need
to
install
an
extension
on
visual
studio
and
the
rest
is.
You
are
good
to
go
if
you
are
a
desktop
developer,
for
example,
and
you're
working
about
embedded
systems,
you
will
feel
right
at
home
because
you
just
fire
visual
studio,
start
a
solution,
a
blank
project
from
template.
B
B
A
Learn
like
other
languages
right
as
a
net
developer,
I
would
have
loved
to
be
able
to
do
all
these
things
at
a.net.
I'm
not
complaining
about
learning
other
languages,
because
that's
great,
but
you
know
being
able
to
do
the
things
you
love
in
the
in
the
tool
with
the
tools
that
you
love
is
really
exciting.
So
you
know
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
are
coming
for.
I
know
that
it's
fairly
new
to
the
foundation
correct.
So,
as
of
you
know,
so
we're
recording
this
in
september
of
2021,
you
know.
B
Yes,
some
feature
that
is
highly
requested:
it's
generics
we
are
about
to
to
have
generics.
We
just
have
a
couple
of
wrinkles
that
we
have
to
to
manage
with
the
with
the
visual
studio
extension,
but
when
we
have
that,
I
dare
to
say
that
will
be
pretty
much
or
paired.
B
With
the
with
the
full
framework,
I
mean
we
don't
have
all
the
apis
that
are
there,
because
that
doesn't
make
sense,
otherwise,
wouldn't
be
nano,
but
all
the
all
that
you
can
dream
of
doing
with
the
with
nano
framework
and
csharp.net
you
can
do
it.
No,
no
doubts
about
it.
A
B
The
the
problem
that
I
was
trying
to
solve
it's
to
basically
try
that
microframework
didn't
went
away
because
that
was
it
didn't
still
is
I
usually
say
that
we
are
standing
in
the
shoulders
of
giants.
The
guys
that
first
pulled
this
out
were
geniuses
and
it
was
a
shame
to
go
all
this
go
away
because
being
able
to
program
for
micro
controllers
using
c-sharp.
It's
something
great.
You
can
do
that
and.
B
Learning
to
to
code
or
even
to
complicated
projects,
iot
gadgets,
whatever
you
can
do,
you
can
do
that
and
it's
a
great
platform
for
learning
and
for
for
commercial
use,
so
it
would
be
a
waste
and
a
shame.
Seeing
all
this
go
away.
That's
one
of
the
the
main
drivers
that
put
me
on
to
this.
A
B
Oh
sure
you
can
go
to
to
our
github
organization.
We
have
there
the
the
projects
and
the
and
the
the
boards
with
the
tasks
that
are
open
planning
and
all
that
you
can
grab
open
issues
to
to
learn
your
way
around
it
and
because
we
we
touch
from
c
and
c,
plus
plus
t
to
c
sharp.
I
mean
the
the
firmware
and
all
the
low
level
stuff
is
coded
in
c
and
c,
plus
plus.
So
you,
if
you
are
you
far
into
that
you
can
help
at
that
level.
B
If
you
are
a
c-sharp
developer,
there's
plenty
of
work
to
do
from
the
class
libraries.
All
our
tools
are
developed
in
c-sharp,
the
visual
studio,
extension
too
of
course,
and
so
it's
it's
plenty
of
ways
to
open
up.
Others
are
just
even
if
you're,
just
trying
things
and
report
bugs
or
something
that
you
find.
That's
not
working.
It's
also
helpful.
B
Of
course
we
have
also
the
discard
community,
which
is
very
helpful
and
a
lot
of
folks
there,
and
if
you
can
learn
stuff,
answering
welcome
the
the
newbies
and
the
people
that
are
just
arriving.
So
all
a
lot
of
work
is
there
and
being
being
an
open
source
project.
There
is
always
plenty
of
stuff
to
do
and
very
short
time
for
it.
A
Yeah,
you
know,
I
think
one
thing
you
didn't
mention
that
I
imagine
that
you
would
love
to
get
some
help
on
was
docs
right.
So
I
think
you
know.
Oh
yes,
yeah
contributing
to
docs,
I
think,
is
one
of
the
easiest
ways
for
people
to
immediately
start
contributing
and
providing
value,
because
I
don't.
I
can't
speak
for
you,
but
I
speak
for
me
as
somebody
who
plays
around
in
open
source
projects
a
lot
and
builds
things
like
the
docs
are
always
the
last
thing
to
come
right
so
being
able
to.
A
Help
out
some
of
these
projects,
with
contribution
to
docs
or
even
just
kind
of
clearing
up
docs
that
already
exist
is
super
powerful,
absolutely
yeah.
I
think
you
know
one
of
the
things
I'm
also
curious
about.
Is
you
know,
as
since
you're
a
member
of
the
dotnet
foundation,
your
project
is,
you
know,
how's.
B
It
has
already
helped
us
on
on
a
few
occasions.
One
of
them,
perhaps
the
the
major
one
was
to
to
get
in
touch
with
with
the
nuget
team
and
because
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
short
is
the
that
we
used
to
be
was
the
tf
and
the
target
from
the
framework
moniker
to
allow
us
to
to
have
our
own
project
system
and
all
that
stuff
and
to
be
able
to
use
nugget
to
to
upload
to
update
the
projects
and
all
that
that
stuff.
B
That
was
something
that
wasn't
possible
before
and
reaching
out
to
the
to
the
net
foundation.
Put
us
in
contact
with,
with
the
negative
and
after
a
few
iterations
you
get
now.
It's
able
to
knows
net
nano
framework,
it's
able
to
to
update
the
nugets,
install
them,
and
the
next
step
is
to
to
update
our
project
systems
to
use
sdk,
because
we
are
still
on
the
old
style,
and
so
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
it
would
be.
It
would
have
been
harder
or
even
impossible.
A
That's
great,
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
that
you
know
the
dynamic
foundation
has
helped
you
as
this
pro
your
project's
matured,
to
a
point
where
a
lot
of
people
can
use
it.
A
lot
of
people
probably.
A
It
for
the
work
they're
doing
so
kudos
and
as
we're
as
we
kind
of
end
jose
I'd
like
to
get
some.
You
know
some
parting
words
from
you
like.
How
can
people
you
know?
What's
how
do
people
access
the
the
you
know
the
repo
for
that
nano
framework
like
what
you
know,
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
people
should?
You
know
introducing
themselves
to
the
project
like
what
should
they
look
out
for.
B
B
There
are
channels
with
the
various
topics
you
you
go
there
and
you
pick
the
one
that
you
think
it's
most
appropriate
for
your
question
and
you
are
good
to
go
pretty
much
any
of
the
the
mainstream
boards
that
you
find
out
there
from
the
the
cheapest
to
the
most
expensive
ones,
from
the
esp32
atom
fico
sd
ports
nxp
ti.
Whatever
you
have
there
on
the
garage.
A
That's
great,
I
actually
have
one
last
question,
I'm
sorry!
So
what
is
your
favorite
micro
device
to
work
with.
B
I
like
very
much
the
the
sd
boards,
as
they
are
yeah
they're
very
complete,
can
to
allow
to
do
a
lot
of
stuff
and
have
internet
connectivity
and
a
bunch
of
memory
plenty
of
variants.
So
it's
one
of
my
favorites,
I
can
say.
A
In
learning
more
about
net
nano
framework,
there's
going
to.
