RE: [argouml-dev] Formalizing the ArgoUML community

[Linus Tolke]

Hello Roy!   I have only gotten polite answers from the Software Freedom Conservancy. They seem to work slowly.   The last notice I got was a reply to my question if we were still a candidate. >From the 23:rd of August:   Hi Linus,   You are still a candidate - the Project Evaluation Committee is making good progress giving all of the projects that have requested admission into the Conservancy a thorough review. I will keep you posted as to their progress and may contact you if they have any questions during their review process.   apologies for the delay, Karen           /Linus   > -----Original Message----- > From: Roy Feldman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: den 7 september 2006 13:29 > To: dev@argouml.tigris.org > Subject: RE: [argouml-dev] Formalizing the ArgoUML community > > Hi Linus, > > I was just wondering if you have any news, good or bad, from > the Software Freedom Conservancy. > > BTW, congratulations to all ArgoUML developers on release 0.22.
