I might have, had I noticed, but since this is an end of a sentence in the middle of the mail inbetween two big blocks of commands, that was not the case. And even if I had noticed, with the info I did (not) have, it's a question what conclusion I would have drawn from it. As far as I was concerned, it was a mail about getting accounts for some optional patch review tool. If you don't want people to miss important information, you need to announce it properly and not as some offhand remark. And announcing properly is not a talk at conference to a limited audience, not random comments wherever, nor mail asking for setting up an account without futher info (except for the well-hidden remark). It may be nothing new to you, since you know it, but it is new for people you haven't told. This is not about Gerrit itself. This is about the way it has (not) been communicated. -- Lubos Lunak [email protected] _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
