Why have I not been contacted about this at all yet (by packt mostly). While I think it's good that you are putting in effort, it feels a little as being passed by. In any case, it's good that the book is being pushed, and if you are from CubieTech or Allwinner, please atleast CC me, as I am the author after all. For the part for asking someone from CubieTech or Allwinner, it was something I suggested in my last message to them and got a positive reply. Most probably a private message will not work and you will need to contact both directly. In my initial email I got a positive reply from you, thanking me for this post. It makes sense for these things to be done by someone else than the author. When I replied to you, I mentioned that it would be good for this email to make it both the Olimex and Lemaker forums. I did not offer to do that, and it's something that you may want to pursue. I cc:ed Tom in these emails considering that a review from him would be nice. I did not act on that, so you may want to ping him as well. Simos -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups linux-sunxi group.
