We really liked > working with you ;) thanks a lot, it's shared. imho, you Fluendo guys are doing great things for FLOSS with Elisa and your other projects ^_^ so keep up your good work! > 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. though I've not proposed so, that would be amazing to do so! Loic and Denis have stepped up, along with Marco. so there is still a bit of life there. > 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 :) thanks for that. on my side, I've requested the creation of a mailing list on launchpad. we will also (possibly) have to revive the website, though this is a low prio. cheers, Arnaud > 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.
