Hey Alan, Thanks for your encouragement. And thanks too for promoting Rivendell and free software! Yeah, it's amazing to me how resistant some people still are to community developed software. I must work in a bubble -- we use tons of free and open software at my $dayjob. I'm pleased to know that you've been doing it for so long and continue to spread the word about Rivendell! I'll share the video link if/when it becomes available. Thanks! ~David On Sat 19 Jul 2014 08:22:04 AM CDT, Al Peterson wrote: > David - Break a leg, as we say in show biz ;^) > > Glad to see you spreading the word.
