Well, if you want to know what's going on, you can always google. MOTU Report #1, from 1st Mar 2005 (http://lwn.net/Articles/125666/) lists nine MOTU, while the MOTU launchpad page (https://launchpad.net/people/motu/) currently lists 35 MOTU, and the wiki lists some 22 MOTU teams (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTUTeams). These days there's also a fair number of MOTU wannabes, I believe. Cheers, aj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
