It doesn't change anything if they say we have a chance to propose something. 22:30:29 there are just some things with Fedora that are not going well :-/ 22:30:42 sesivany: I guess we can discuss in lenght during devconf over a beverage :) cause i do not want to distrub the meeting 22:30:42 gnokii: will you e-mail be to fedora 10 years svg if it is private? 22:30:51 ok, out time is up, anything lese? 22:30:57 mhroncok: yes will to right after meeting 22:31:02 thanks 22:31:02 misc: sure, looking forward to that ;) 22:31:08 do not to 22:32:08 so if there is nothing else, thank you for coming and don't forget that the next meeting will be in 2 weeks, not next week.
