I'll be happy to help, although OpenLDAP, like just about anything that is not seriously mainstream that I've done is really just a hobby. I've also been a very early adopter of Go, which is now my developing language of choice. That does define my philosophy (Plan 9, Go - should be quite revealing, NetBSD is my Posix preference, by far) and I am not at all ashamed of my "periphery" preferences. I have only a very few valuable resources I can contribute, but a long history of not quite taking anything for granted. My efforts keeping Graphviz running under Plan 9 were defeated by the adoption of a practically incompatible configuration and installation system and it also blocked efforts on my part to port the client tools from OpenLDAP 2.4: I just felt I was not up to the task. That's my CV in a few sentences. If you can find a role for me to play towards 2.5, I'll help. The price is dealing with scratchy personality and some very fixed ideas that have taken root in my head. -- Lucio De Re 2 Piet Retief St Kestell (Eastern Free State) 9860 South Africa Ph.: +27 58 653 1433 Cell: +27 83 251 5824 FAX: +27 58 653 1435
