Each project's maintainer can send you the questions for getting started. Of course, no NDAs. That's so terse that I'm not sure what it means. It could be a statement of current fact (you have not signed any NDAs about your work), or a statement of your intentions regarding possible employers (you intend not to sign NDAs for them) or a statement of your wishes (you hope they won't ask for NDAs), or maybe other things. I have never knowingly signed and NDA for generally useful technical information such as software, and I refuse to do so. I have never made an exception, and I intend never to make one. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)

Re: Maintenance of the Hurd
I always hoped that the project's seniors, Thomas Bushnell and Roland McGrath, would get more active again and make some decision about existing interface-changing (category (c)) issues, but this hasn't really happened yet. It is good to have their input, when they give it. But if they don't get around to an issue for a substantial time, I think it is better if you go ahead and do the best you can without them. ___ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
Re: Maintenance of the Hurd parts in glibc
For getting invasive (read: interface changes and the like) changes into the Hurd we'd need (a) people to come up with such changes (!) and (b) have them attract Thomas Bushnell's or Roland McGrath's or Marcus Brinkmann's attention (which often enough is not trivial). But I deem it's very difficult to find someone to judge on such issues and have that person be a judge with Thomas Bushnell's or Roland McGrath's or Marcus Brinkmann's qualities. I can't be that person, and neither can -- in my opinion -- be the other people who took part in this discussion so far, as everyone of us lacks the experience to judge on such things. I appreciate your modesty. However, the expertise of those old Hurd developers does us no good if they don't actually use it. It would be better for you to install these changes than for us to wait forever. Would you be willing to do it? ___ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
Re: Maintenance of the Hurd parts in glibc (was: about GNU Hurd)
There may be a misunderstanding. Two different issues were raised: getting Hurd-related changes into Glibc, and getting changes into the Hurd. Here I'm talking about appointing another Hurd maintainer to get changes installed in the Hurd itself. ___ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
