I would even be curious to know what made you think so, so that I can, in the future, avoid giving that impression again. This entire discussion has (on my side) merely been trying to understand your emails with the limited info that I have. > was that there is no point in sending this all to... Kernels?

I can't reply for Corey who wrote the original email but I would guess he tried to give an heads-up to people who contributed to GSoC last year, try to see if they are thinking about GSoC already. To give an example, if it hadn't been for Corey I would have had no idea that the dead-line for GSoC subject proposals was that close, GSoC is a summer program in my head and we're at the beginning of February so it was really not in my calendar as something to think about right now. Devel is not necessarily the best place for these types of discussion because not everyone is subscribed or follows carefuly the list and also because devel talks about a lot of subjects that would not (imho) result is GSoC subjects. devel-announce would be a better place imho as it's lower traffic and thus likely raises more attention (and hopefully reaches more of our sub-projects). Hoping this clarifies a little bit the situation, Pierre _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
