Glad you're sticking around Osiris! I haven't contributed much myself in the last while - goczmq has stabilized and doesn't need much work, and at work I moved into a management position and that transition took all my time and energy for awhile.
Now I'm learning Rust and working on a czmq binding for it ( https://gitlab.com/taotetek/czmq-rs) so I'll be around more. I'm glad you're staying :) Brian On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 7:49 AM Osiris Pedroso <opedr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok, dirty laundry has been cleaned, I feel loved again. 😍 > Please keep me in the mail list > > I'll set a goal to make another attempt. > Hopefully I'll have something to show by the time February rolls by. > > PS: Luca, I no longer have that file.
