Let me make an announcement here: If the FSF handles this problem also putting out a non-alpha-non-beta 1.11 release of Automake before 2008-02-01 I will donate k Euros to the FSF with k equal the number of days left to that deadline, e.g. if Automake 1.11 is released on 2008-01-31 I will donate 1 Euro, for 2008-01-05 it would be 32 - 5 = 27 Euros. Time is UTC+0, 31 Euros is maximum, just to be on the safe side. Maybe that's some extra fun and motivation. Yes, it's not enough to move mountains but I'm still a student - maybe it's enough to move a few people. May the new year be a great your for Free Software. Cheers. Sebastian PS: Please CC me, not on the list.
