>Who have they emailed? Andy, I wrote the emails. I don't think it's appropriate to resort to a public name and shame. To be fair one did reply but then the conversation stopped a month ago. All I can say is that the potential sponsors are well resourced and are very serious about their CNC manufacturing project and would like to use Linuxcnc. From what I see, my email address is appended to this post so if there are interested parties, please email me privately. I'm trying to get my head around GIT so I can make more contributions but its hard work.
>I didn't realize we into looking at it from a marketing angle and 2.8 is not dated and is easy to get. Phill, each is entitled to their opinion about the ease of deploying LinuxCNC but "easy to get" is not what I am hearing from those willing to give LinuxCNC a go with no prior experience. As for marketing, I promote Linuxnc at every available opportunity. I would like to think that all of us do the same. Without new users, you won't get people making contributions to the project's future. Some might even become new developers able to help with code. Life is all about marketing. Might I remind you the official docs talk about other ways to contribute <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/code/contributing-to-linuxcnc.html#_other_ways_to_contribute> and I have put a lot of effort into all of those ways. Anyway, none of this conversation is relevant to the original topic and is just a distraction from the real issue. That is: please get a release of some kind out as soon as possible. It might not be perfect, It might not include all possible kernels, it might not please everybody but eventually some action is required in preference to no action. I believe thats where we are now.
