<div class="PlainText">When I dealt with them last year, they did not care what platforms were used. I'm far more familiar with OSS (vs Dotnet) so that's what I used. I also picked a project that didn't pre-define technical requirements. The devs who picked
my project did so because of my OSS requirements. YMMV.<br>
<br>
To summarize: for this event, the organizers are platform-agnostic.<br>

<div>Since I was a Tech Lead, I felt I had to talk to both the non-profit stakeholders and business analyst so I knew what they had discussed and everyone was on the same page. I met with the head of the org once, and we kept in occasional contact via email
until that event weekend. Unfortunately the BA for my project really did not do that great of a job re: requirements/scope and documentation, so I had to do a lot of juggling and clarification.</div>

I asked for a shared hosting provider that provided PHP and MySQL access.</span>

<div>I guess what some people are asking is if you development and implement something in the OpenJDK for the GPL Java VM, will they take issue being a .NET group?</div>
