This seems like a perfect opportunity for me to make a blatant appeal
to this list. I realise this is off topic, so please accept my apologies for
that, but I believe that most of you might be interested by its contents ;)
The Aglet Community requests your support.
The Aglet Software Development Kit is a Java framework for researching and developing
mobile agents and distributed systems. It was one of the first of its kind
available in the world, and is still a leader in its field in terms of technology.
Recently though, there are rumours that IBM might discontinue the project and
shelve the technology. This would be a great loss to the growing Aglet community and
the mobile code world in general.
We are asking for your help in convincing IBM that Aglets should live on, as an
Open Source project. It is ideal for this, with the community already developing
and releasing OSS updates and packages for the framework.
You can help us by signing our petition and registering your support. Even if
you don't know anything about Aglets, you can still help! We need as many
people to sign as possible. The home page of the petition can be found at:

Thanks,
Todd
