Hi, Sorry for my delay to answer... I'm very (very very very) busy for the moment ; same as you/everybody :) I'm happy to participate to this sort of event. This is important for Doudoulinux. I'm not always present but I'm reading you in background.
@ JM > I forgot to transfer te money. Sorry. I'll try today. @ Every contributors > congats for your work. This is a great pleasure to present DDL to a public. your work is great! I hope new people in the next week! (And for the Danish contributor, I'm sorry, I don't "recognize" you :)) @ JM > can you send me the stats of DDL (send me a private message (FR possible!) )... I'll send an update of the global stats. ;) Xavier 2015-02-25 23:55 GMT+01:00 Richard <[email protected]>: > Felicitaciones & Congratulations on the stand > and for all the excellent work in creating DDL. > Saludos, > Richard. > > On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 5:21 PM, Jean-Michel PHILIPPE <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Here is the summary of the Fosdem week-end!
