From dam at opencsw.org Thu Jan 1 18:49:54 2009 From: dam at opencsw.org (Dagobert Michelsen) Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2009 18:49:54 +0100 Subject: [csw-members] New members Message-ID: Hi, the association welcomes the newly accepted members - Ken Mays - Jonathan Wheeler - Mike Arnold - Oliver Kiddle All of you have already contributed to the project in the past. Ken did a lot of desktop packages, Jonathan put considerable effort in media player software and contributed fixes upstream, Mike also maintained quite a bunch of packages and Oliver took over some orphaned packages like lzma. Please keep in mind that being a maintainer is not only about fame and glory, but also about tedious work to make the packages as good as possible and remove bugs timely when discovered. Please check regularly at the bottom of your maintainer page if there are any open issues. If you have spare cycles please adopt an orphaned package and help bring the complete software stack to a 100% current state. But enough of morality: A very warm welcome! If you have applied for membership and don't see your name listed here please stay calm. There is a backlog and I don't have mails on every applicant from every board member yet. Please allow some more days as it is still vacation time. Your membership is tracked at There is now a new column with your dedication in the project. Please let me know on what are you working or are planning to work like "webpage", "maintainer", etc. Best regards -- Dago From dam at opencsw.org Thu Jan 1 18:49:54 2009 From: dam at opencsw.org (Dagobert Michelsen) Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2009 18:49:54 +0100 Subject: [csw-members] New members Message-ID: Hi, the association welcomes the newly accepted members - Ken Mays - Jonathan Wheeler - Mike Arnold - Oliver Kiddle All of you have already contributed to the project in the past.
