And yet there isn't any note of this event. I am apologize for changing
the subject, but I don't recall of any announcement on mailing list and
surely there isn't any news at ecos.sourceware.org. I got an official
(snail mail) letter from eCosCentric about my assignment being
transfered to FSF and that's all.

Best regards
