At any rate, David Rios was before you and he haven't said anything yet. So I suppose he is still interested on calc. > Craig> If anyone has any advice as to whether or not it would be > Craig> ethical to pursue getting a sponsor and uploading this > Craig> package, I'd appreciate it. In January, at DebConf 2 in Perth, Australia Bdale Garbee as DLP said that we should have more debian developers in countries where there are almost none. During a Linux conference in Mexico, he was amazed with the popularity of debian and none (zero) debian developers in that country. This is the oportunity of David Rios to become a debian developer. He is from Colombia where there is only _one_ debian developer. >Cheers, >-- >Luis Bustamante Aníbal Monsalve Salazar - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Building 28C, Monash University, VIC 3800, Australia Ph +61 3 99059849 Fx +61 3 99054746 Mb +61 4 08573670 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://www-personal.monash.edu.au/~anibal/gpg-public-key.shtml iD8DBQE+uvSOipBneRiAKDwRAkTzAJ9AcFJsSsr9VvbglodMQ6JdcYkbPwCfU5it X+rzhFEFtLjnihyecwzmoVw= =reP8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
