Elektra, Would you be interested in joining us in Berlin as part of FUDCon (and adjacent to LinuxTag) to talk about your project and its needs? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Berlin_2009 The FUDCon guys are being nice enough to provide us some space. It would be good if we could reward them with a few talks that might have general community interest. Plus, you would have an opportunity to deal directly with some of the key wireless developers in the community. Thanks, John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
