Does debconf not want mainstream developers?
Eh, YMMV, but when I hear people taking a two-week leave from work, they'll either go on vacation, work on the house, or sit at home and do something "interesting" -- i.e., hobby stuff. If you don't *like* your hobby, you're... weird. Having said that, of course your question is perfectly valid; it would be nice to have a preliminary schedule when one is ready. -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
