So, let's get a list of servers or what ever included in the list of |
| 27 |
stuff that needs to be transfered. What all boxes did/is transfered/has |
| 28 |
been given to us? |

So, what do the rest of you want?We need to come up with a decision of |
| 48 |
what we want first before we can even get down to deciding in how we |
| 49 |
want to do the copyright doc, if we want one. |
| 50 |
So, do you guys want one or not? Do you want gentoo's software to be |
| 51 |
protected or not? |
