Me too, but I've seen exactly the opposite: someone was funded who wasn't really active in the area of the project where he worked on, and didn't use existing interfaces etc. to implement his project. I had no idea how to follow his progress, or how to make sure that the end result is something we could actually use at Debian (or our users could use, for that matter). And I'm not really concerned by DDs being paid under the project (my usual reservations towards Google notwithstanding). This is Google's project, if they care about conflict of interest, they should investigate them before making a decision. As long as they pick the actual beneficiaries, we don't need to discuss this to death. It's not like they are paying for the addition of a new architecture to the archive or something like that. (By the way, if someone in south-western Germany thinks they have got an interesting summer project for Debian, particularly in the area of security or systems management, they should contact me.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
