And thanks, especially, for making this process a pleasure to go through; to the point I regret we're not in Curitiba anymore so we could discuss some fine points about bad licences and how to handle them with real word example - along with some kind of nice bererage. Preferably beer, but cachaça would be accepted! …Ok, I'm sure we would find more interesting stuff to talk about in such circonstances. But that was unexpectedly fun, and I can only wish every applicant to have such a nice AM process. And in this e-mail I'd also like to publicly thank everyone who encouraged me, before, during, or after my declaration of intention - or Gunnar's report, proving once again how fine a community Debian can be. I really appreciated that, and it gives me even more reasons to want to be part of it! :) -- nodens
