Finding a few hours a week won't be difficult, especially since I *really like* contributing to the project. The real difficulty for now is that I hardly have a place I can call home (although I *do* have a flat now). Hopefully, I'll have brand new bed and fridge there within a few days, a phone line and, even more important, power supply :) Once all these are OK, I'll move there for good and you'll see more often again. > Any proposal for how to proceed with the 2.4 patch? Release 2.8.1 (hi, Phil ;)), generate patches, post patches on LKML. Wait and see. Phil, I remind you that you don't have to bump the library's version, as I already did. > Without you to generate a 2.8.1->2.4.23 patch, what should we do? There's no such thing as "without me". I won't let you down :) The patch is almost already generated. The patches I made available for Linux 2.4.22 users will be OK for inclusion into Linux 2.4.23, with the exception of the main patch that will have to be regenerated once i2c 2.8.1 is released. But that one is automatically generated, so that's not a big problem. The main concern IMHO are the new sibyte and max1617 drivers, that really entered the tree at the worst possible time. I don't know exactly what to do with them. Wiping them out is bad. But integrating them correctly could take some more time. Suggestions welcome. > And if you don't mind, what are you going to be doing for a living? I've been hired as a development engineer (and that's great, because that's what I just am). I'll be working in Paris (well, so near that it's the same) and living there too (likewise, so near that's it's the same, although that's not the same "so near", unfortunately). My first task will be about web application development, using PHP 4 and a some HTML/CSS design too. > thanks again You're more than welcome.
