Hi Everyone. You know the drill by now. Please like and most importantly SHARE the announcements that I posted on Facebook and Google +
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SubsurfaceDivelogOrgOnGooglePlus/posts/GDQZUBCtCdf https://www.facebook.com/subsurfacedivelog/posts/1374743809239222 The social networks are all about being echo chambers. So even people who follow the Subsurface page don't get to see my posts unless there is enough engagement with the posts. It is silly to always feel like I should beg to have my posts liked... I just crave the attention, I guess :-) I also posted the announcement to ScubaBoard, please post (and link) anywhere else you usually hang out to talk about diving. And while I'm asking for help... we so far only have Dutch and Spanish translations of the announcement on our own website... if you are fluent in one of the other languages, please send me a pull request for https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/Subsurface-website Ok, with this out of the way, the traditional thank you to everyone involved. The translators have been amazing. I am simply impressed how quickly the translations were coming together after my announcement that I was about to release 4.6.4. THANK YOU. The shortlog also makes me very happy: $ git shortlog -s -n v4.6.3..v4.6.4 86 Dirk Hohndel 69 Jan Mulder 32 Martin Měřinský 31 Stefan Fuchs 24 Miika Turkia 15 Salvador Cuñat 10 Jeremie Guichard 10 Robert Helling 6 Marco Martin 5 Lubomir I. Ivanov 4 Tomaz Canabrava 2 Jef Driesen 1 Joakim Bygdell 1 Rick Walsh 1 Shachar Snapiri Not only because of all the names of long time contributors... Tomaz was back with a few patches, as were Lubomir, Robert, Jef, and Rick. Miika and Salvador are always there and have been key contributors since "forever". Marco saved our bacon on the QML side. Again. But what really makes me happy are all the names who show up as new (or relatively new in the "top 10") contributors. Jan, Martin, Stefan, Jeremie. Thank you. I mean it. BTW, Linus doesn't show up which is kinda unfair, he helped keeping libdivecomputer updated and is now working on the BLE stuff. Still, this is the first time that we had a new release with more than a handful of commits and none from Linus... Anyway - as we all know, these statistics are showing a very imperfect view of the true contributions. This time we had not patches not only from Linus but also from Willem and Anton, who still contributed a ton on the mailing list. And many other key people (like Davide and many others - I'm know there are many, many of you) don't show up in the stats, yet they are key to making Subsurface better. Subsurface wouldn't exist without all of us working together. I know I sometimes get grumpy and frustrated. Chemical imbalance. But what keeps me doing this is the fact that there are so many enthusiastic people working together. Thanks. Everyone. Thanks. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
