How you made fajim from fijam is beyond me, Allan

Anyway, a good read indeed. And kudos for holding the Bug Day, looking forward to the next one.

O_o .... I mean, it looks OK to me....

(quick, Kensai, fix it while he is not looking).

Hint: "pacman -Ss gajim" might explain the mistake.

hehe

I like the forum/irc humor. Didn't find the one by bangkok_manouel that funny, and I continued reading the thread. Now further down, I found another gem ;-)

Anyway, I did notice there were no questions about taco's anymore. What's wrong with taco's? I like them!

Kensai: Keep that up and you won't need a proofreader!

Dusty: Gladly

Stefan Husmann · 2009-04-04 21:59:59

I would like to suggest that in the future appliances of new TUs should only be mentioned if the vote is over.

kensai · 2009-04-05 00:32:44

Well, they announce the application in a public list, so anyone can see that. I don't know why we have to announce that they applied for a TU position after the vote is done.

Can someone give me a true reasoning?

I think this is because one application failed...

Well, but anyways, it was still announced on a public mailing list. A lot of people knew about all the applications, ghost1227 was just wishing the best to all those publicly know applicants. I feel sorry about that, but if that were the case, then I recommend TU applications would be posted on a non-public list.
