Hi John, Honestly I was optimistic also but... I'm rather sorry about the whole 'punish me' line in my earlier email - but a couple of days after I put my name on the ASF wiki someone in India went to my facebook wall and started a survey titled 'Drew should be kiled' yes/no. I blew it off with a joke response and FB was kind enough to remove the survey entry - followed by a few emails over the next couple of days with suggestions ranging from taking a long walk of a short pier to one request to perform an act which quite frankly I don't think is physically possible. Anyway, I should not of let the fringe element color my interaction here. > > Back to the subject of this thread, +1 > I am interested in participating in a > HackFest and maybe even more interested if it has a QA focus.

Thanks for the offer and I'll do my best to find a way to take you up on it - shouldn't be all that hard to devise, if nothing else just knowing that there would be people hanging out on IRC at the right time would help I think. > > A distributed hackfest may pique more interest by the later LFs as well. > Best wishes, Drew _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
