Hey, all. I'm sorry I've been neglecting stuff (Stephen and Rossz, that
mainly means you guys :| I've had a combination of a crud-load of work
and some serious personal troubles to deal with. Unfortunately, I'll be
mainly out of the loop until late March. Once that period is passed, I
do intend to get back into more active maintainership of legOS and the
associated tools, especially since by late April I'll have actually
finished an operating systems class and have a little bit more
perspective on what is going on under the hood (I'm going to ace the
class because of my legOS experience, but still... ;)
So, yeah- Matt, if you want CVS access, get a sourceforge account and
email me off list, and I'll take care of it. Stephen, Rossz- I hope to
clear some time this weekend to take a look at the packages and the
release clean-up script that you guys have so generously provided.
And of course if someone wants to step up and take charge, I won't
object. From a purely ego-driven perspective, I'd prefer it if everyone
says "we can't live without you" and just waits a couple months, but I'm
aware it might be better for the project if someone wants to step up and
administer things temporarily or permanently. So... if such a person
exists, great... otherwise I'll try not to let the project die
completely and promise to be more responsive in a few months. Apologies
for this taking so long-
Luis
