I like the idea of a get together.. nice! On 4/27/07, Steven Gong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I think John has put his well enough for our core dev team. We contribute our effort (most of the time is from our free time) because we feel our work is interesting and valuable. We are all proud of that. From my standpoint, I'd most like to see a GetTogether for our core dev team so that some design ideas and some project outlooks could be discussed face-to-face and more efficiently. So other than the funding for hosting servers, a GetTogether is what could be donated. Thanks for all you guys that are so considerate for the future of Red5 development.
