<span>Mel and Samuel, <br><br>Th</span>anks for the quick reply! I've been keeping up pretty well with all of the info over at GSoC, so I'll just say that I'm up-to-date on that front. Also, I just joined the gsoc list at <a href="http://laptop.org">laptop.org</a>. Surprised I didn't catch that one sooner.<br>
<br>Thanks again,<br>Alex<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 2:35 PM, Mel Chua <<a href="mailto:mel@melchua.com">mel@melchua.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I offered to clean up and post the notes if someone would email me a log<br>
(I was on web chat on a borrowed computer, and don't have logs of my own<br>
from the conversation).<br>
<br>
The offer still stands, so if someone has the raw log from the meeting<br>
Saturday, please email me and I'll shine them up and ping the lists once<br>
things are there in slightly more digestible format. I'm guessing at<br>
least one person on these lists will have a log...<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
-Mel<br>
