I apologise if I did something inappropriate, but I want to assure you |
21 |
that I always tried to make it clear that this were just my questions |
22 |
and that I asked them withing the gentoo context so I could get a more |
23 |
precise information for me to know how things would work (and then, |
24 |
because I liked it, I decided to share it a the whole, even when it |
25 |
overlapped with already available information). |
26 |
|
27 |
So please do accept my apologies as I made contact with them just so I |
28 |
could get a clear picture on the role they could play within gentoo's |
29 |
context and then just because it made sense to me, I made the proposal |
30 |
to rethink about them adding new information, but nothing more than |
31 |
this. And gathered the information I needed I will not inquire any more |
32 |
on the subject unless the foundation will want me obtain more |
33 |
information. |

Yes, I completely agree with this point, I also sow it as a bit of a |
44 |
drawback, but I also understand the reasons that made them require one |
45 |
personal contact from each project. |
