Due to the recent aquisition of DeerSoft by NAI, a competitor of ours, I have to quit working on this project. I'll still watch the mailing lists, but I won't be able to make any contributions due to this conflict of interest. I feel really gutted about this, since I'm very committed to open source (as people who know my other Perl work know), but I've never had something conflict with my job in this way, and so I have to face reality - this company just isn't going to let me give code away to a competitor.
So I say goodbye - so long and thanks for all the fish. ------ But... There's two things to sort out before I go though: SA3 and CPAN releases. The CPAN releases issue is simple enough - Justin already has permissions to upload SA releases so he can continue to do that assuming it does not conflict with his job. If it does, someone can contact me offline about it and we'll sort that out with the PAUSE admins. SA3 is a little more complex, since it's code I was working on alone. But sadly since this buyout happened before I could merge the code back into the main SA branch (and before SA2.50, after which I was going to do the merge) someone is going to have to take up the bat for SA3, or see it languish and die (though it will probably live on in a proprietary form here at MessageLabs). Luckily the code in CVS is the latest - I didn't really get chance to work on it over the holidays. Plus the code works - the only things left to do are integrate it back into spamassassin and spamd scripts, and do lots of cleanup, and re-merge all the rule changes from SA2.x. So if you feel up to the rather large task of learning all the changes I made (and why) and finishing everything off (I'll point you in the right direction) and merging it back into HEAD, contact me offline and I'll go through all the details with you. I'd prefer if the person wasn't Justin or Craig though, for reasons that should be obvious. Finally, can someone (Dan?) turn off my admin priviledges in the project in sourceforge - I can't seem to do that myself. Once that's done I'll remove myself from the project (if things change later I can always come back on board). Thanks everyone, and good luck with the fight against spam. PS: I'll still talk about SpamAssassin at the Spam Conference next week - it wouldn't be fair not to. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
