Yes, that's me. And it's not very difficult to find me, with or without diacrit's (NSA; is it good or bad from a terrorist point of view to have a 1 in a 9-billion unique name?). This is more or less the only communication channel I'm using for LinuxCNC. As I see it it's kinda sad that here is a large open community but the core(?) developers get together without anyone outside the developer's list knowing about it. I would say I'm very pro LinuxCNC and even though I don't have time to code anything right now because of other software projects it might be possible that I chime in somewhere in the future. And with that said, I think more people like me would involve themselves in the project if we could at least get a glance what's happening. Don't get me wrong here, you all do a terrific job, my machines runs daily thanks to your work and of course you should meat up and have a bear or two. Carrots aren't for pilots. On the other hand (I have expressed the same opinion before) I think there are too many communication channels for this project. Several mailing list, IRC, forum here forum there, wiki documents everywhere. I could have missed it, there probably was a note somewhere (several people do know about it for sure) but I couldn't find a reference what it is all about. Where I live, companies can clear out VAT against investments. I have too much VAT generated by sales right now and a business trip to the states could easily been covered by the firm. You never now, next time I might show up. If I know about it. BTW, I do have a license. But I prefer it engineless. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=J3NyptGJzLo#t=159s And my carrot soup is kicking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
