That is a request. thank you for the correction. can someone please get me up to speed on this? i've collated peoples very gratefully received responses so far, here: http://hands.com/~lkcl/allwinner_linux_proposal.txt > Please let those who are already working with Allwinner continue to > work with them rather than spending time needlessly with someone who > clearly doesn't have any idea about what they say even from one moment > to the next. 1) correct: i don't. i've been caught off-guard by this: it's very short notice, and i have limited time available. i'm doing the best i can to correct mistakes as i go along, but i *don't have time* to observe the niceties, dot all the i's or cross all the t's. 2) that appears to be a request to a large audience. i have to point out to that audience: end result of complying with the request above will be that the free software community suffers as a result of losing the opportunity to speak to - and therefore influence - the Directors of one of the world's most successful, fastest growing [and also very young and inexperienced] SoC fabless semiconductor company. please make your own choice. l. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
