Hi, I understand, and in the general think sharing a room like that would be for the better. I only think that in the particular here the old warning that 'familiarity breeds contempt' is apropos.

Of course I will offer to help produce materials as needed and hope for the best. //drew On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 5:34 PM, Andrea Pescetti <[email protected]> wrote: > Drew Jensen wrote: > >> Well, so as not to lie by omission - I for one am sad to hear about their >> (FOSDEM) choice on this and hope to see the two groups and projects >> continue to evolve along different lines. >> > > Even separate projects can share best practices, test cases, test > documents, localization standards...
