I'm happy to answer any questions, but somebody else will have to write the actual press release. > As to Daniel's new employment, I'm going to ask him for an interview, > with questions inspired by what he said last night in #gentoo-dev.

We've had a nice bit of press about the issue from nearly-reputable sources, and some of the facts have even been correct! > I also wanted to tell you that I was really impressed by your message > to -core.

Over the last however-many years I've seen quite a number of good apologies on -dev and -core! -g2boojum- --=20 Grant Goodyear=09 Gentoo Developer g2boojum@gentoo.org http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCskffptxxUuD2W3YRAuaJAKCB4RUXpYNVe+3rOv9kSggOI0OYxgCeK/re LxXnctpPy4r+Inv6SiB01+E= =KSXN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw-- -- gentoo-trustees@gentoo.org mailing list
