Thanks guys. I'm going to finish up the new quizzes on my own. |
| 48 |
Perhaps you guys should 'draw straws' so in a few weeks/months |
| 49 |
we can rapidly complete the dev application process. Ive got over 2 |
| 50 |
years on this off and on. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
I promise to present at lest 10 ebuilds as a body of work (EAPI-6 OK?)? |
| 53 |
Yes I do prefer email over irc. If you force irc on me, then I think it |
| 54 |
would be nice to have a streamlined method so the instant I fire it up, |
| 55 |
it is secure and I do not have to haggle with interlopers via the channel. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I'm not a fan of 'gang rape' either, so hopefully irc channel comes |
| 58 |
complete with manners and respect, regardless of who has what technical |
| 59 |
acumen over the others? Is that too much to ask? Really, for someone |
| 60 |
like me, it is just best to avoid irc. |
