Hence the reason I wanted to wait for a response till I had more time (still busy).. My approach for you would have been : get a software grant, ccla and icla on file and start a vote on you being a committer for cactus, I just failed horribly to send out that mail (btw sending in those documents is what legal incubation is about). I will send you some links for this, if you didn't figure it out earlier or someone else beats me to it.. Since there is still enough interest in Cactus I think that new activity will be enough to get more people aboard and get the ball rolling again :) Mvgr, Martin Petar Tahchiev wrote: > On 3/7/07, Martin van den Bemt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> will come back to this on friday.. >> >> Mvgr, >> Martin >> >> Petar Tahchiev wrote: >> > Hello guys, >> > >> > first of all let me introduce myself.

It would be better you send me those links, since I have no idea what a software grant, ccla and icla is :-). Ok waiting for the links. Greetings. -- Regards, Petar! Karlovo, Bulgaria.
