And things just kept improving. For instance, I am an extremely happy user of the buildbot and inbox services. What a change these brought! And all of that based on a 100% Free Software infrastructure. For some of us, that matters a lot. [...] "Frank Ch.

Given how strong of a steward the SFC has been for so many great Free Software projects over the years, I welcome this move wholeheartedly. With my humble libabigail maintainer hat on, this is a +10000 from me. [...] Cheers, --=20 Dodji
