Re: looking for Open Source project presentations
Hello Kurt,
Thanks for your interest and ideas!
If we decide to put together a hothouse, then maybe we can put out an
announcement to openldap-announce. Until then, I'll be satisfied
with a post to the general mailing list. The USE LINUX committee is
having a conf call on Thursday afternoon and they will discuss the
latest developments with the hothouses at that time. Kurt, I'll be
happy to discuss this with you offline.
Regards,
-Eric.
