Hello, I'm sending this email for several reasons. One is to remind you that I will be on vacation (a real one this time) beginning now until when I am scheduled to return late the 9th of November.
The second reason is just to note that I didn't get any feedback on the previous 3 Bacula status reports, in particular about the re-organization of the project. I hope I am correct in assuming that you are all pleased with what I wrote :-) If you have any feedback or concerns, now is the time to speak up. The most important points for me were the following: 1. I have requested help setting up more community participation in testing, bug fixing, and builds of more platforms such as Solaris, FreeBSD, ... This is to ensure that all important platforms are supported better than I could do alone. 2. I am working on setting up some "official" structure or structures for Bacula, possibly a Swiss Association, perhaps a Foundation. This will be so that in the near term (1-6 months) Bacula will have a charter and a governing board, and equally important, I plan to transfer the source and documentation copyrights, which are currently held in my name into such a "permanent" neutral entity. I believe this will help ensure the health, and long term survival of Bacula as Free Software, as well as to ensure that the project is less (no longer) dependent on one person (me). Rest assured, this does not at all mean that I envision decreasing my participation with the project. If you have any comments or concerns about the above changes, please don't hesitate to let me know. Even though I am on vacation, I will be thinking about this and hopefully be able to answer any email.
