You think I don't? http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=codehelp@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.emdebian.org/ http://www.transifex.net/accounts/profile/codehelp/ http://wiki.debian.org/NeilWilliams How much more activity in the world outside this LUG would you like? > Okay so far it's limited to a LUG meeting in Paignton, one in > Holsworthy(?), the couple of events in Penzance and the couple of odd > days we've had in Paignton and Exeter but we're at least doing > something rather than sitting on the mailing list moaning about > putting the world to rights. Does that take account of my Debian work (probably one of the most active Debian developers, certainly the most active DD concerned with embedded Debian) and my contributions to free software outside and inside my current daily employment through upstream work which also goes into Fedora and BSD? Does it include my ongoing voluntary contributions to this LUG and the server that runs the website of the LUG, paid for out of that employment? I lurk on busy lists because I spend the majority of my waking time contributing to free software. I am not unaware of what goes on in this LUG or other LUGs all over the world. This LUG contributes far more than just a few meetings to the free software community and has done since before I joined this LUG in ten years ago. Some LUGS do more, quite a few do a lot less. My commitment to free software and my ongoing contributions to Debian are the reason I moved out of Devon and Cornwall to come to Cambridge where my contributions could have a more direct impact. Attending meetings is no indicator of contributions. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
