Hello All, I'm glad to hear from you now !
Well i'm sorry for not having given any new for a few month. I will try to make a little summary on where i was when i leave as is the distro part of the umc project. I won't be available until the end of the week, so i will give an up to date status and needed info to continue on this week end or by the next week. Cheers, Denis.

We really liked working with you ;) Now let's make a UMC release happen soon, Elisa is getting better each week, time is coming to integrate it even more in Ubuntu. So I did a first triaging pass on the umc-team members applicants; contacted some of them to ask for informations and approved some new ones :) Philippe Le mardi 28 octobre 2008 à 22:02 +0100, Arnaud Quette a écrit : > Dear UMC Community, > > it's been a while since there has been a bit noise here ;-) > > as you all know, I had to drop away the leadership of UMC. > not because of a lack of interest, but due to real lack of time (check > my double sig for a clue). > > until now, nobody stepped up to take over, and push this Community to give > its best, and raise Elisa to the top.
