It's an amazing effort to put together such a nice distro. I've come from RedHat, over Suse, over Gentoo to Ubuntu and this is the place I feel most at home. I've often felt I should contribute more, but by the time I can really test my patch for a particular itch, the distro has already taken care of it or I'm not routined and it takes me too long. Sometimes it's hard to find instant gratification, but none of your contributions can be underestimated. Sighh... You devs...

Re: You devs rock. Thanks for your work.
This has been the best release cycle so far for me. I have found the developers more responsive than ever and a good number of the bugs I'm most interested in have been fixed. There are also some lovely nuggets of joy in the 7.10 release like finally having a GUI method for installing a bluetooth mouse (kudos to the bluez devs!). My experience with the system-config-printer folks was also very gratifying. And the work on xserver-xorg-video-intel has not gone unnoticed on my machine. Many many thanks to you all! - Andrew Jorgensen -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
