Cat pictures are important, but I feel a specialised site should be created to house them.

We should be nice to anyone no matter what. Though personally I have a very short fuze for people that don't want to learn. I hate having to learn when I want to do, so I can see where people are coming from.

This is here https://github.com/hackerdeen/articles/commit/58dc945981e15cb751968b22290e9b7f6c4ad68c#diff-8f70be4e1e768e1b1d4787a2b3ea94d5R266 I remember when the proto(We weren't a company then) directors walked through the articles we said this would be set to our first aniversary. Can some others back this up, I don't think having the AGM in May makes any sense at all. -- Tom @adventureloop adventurist.me The most secure code in the world is code which is never written; The least secure code is code which is written in order to comply with a requirement on page 70 of a 100-page standard, but never gets tested because nobody enables that option. - Colin Percival _______________________________________________ 57north-discuss mailing list 57north-discuss@lists.57north.co http://lists.57north.co/listinfo/57north-discuss
