I'm sure you mean the best. But, are you really serious about imposing a list of arbitrary rules on how I spend a week of my life running a booth about Sage and CoCalc at math meetings? If this is something that reflects the general opinion of the community, then I should just stop running the booth (after having done it over 10 times now). -- William -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
