First off, thanks everyone for the very well thought out responses and i apologize for stepping a bit out of line. My message was far too imposing instead of inviting. I'd like to instead say that if you, personally, are interested in free software, i invite you to join LibrePlanet and start your own team if one doesn't already exist. Even here in Massachusetts where i've started a LibrePlanet Chapter, our Ubuntu LoCo will continue working and we'll be sure to collaborate down the line.Â <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 9, 2010 at 08:29, Alan Pope <<a href="mailto:alan@popey.com">alan@popey.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> This is not the first time I have witnessed this happen.

Anyways, this idea has been brewing for a long time and the reason i chose LibrePlanet is because it already exists and has the scope i was envisioning.Â -- .danny â˜®â™¥â’¶ - <a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/danny.piccirillo">http://www.google.com/profiles/danny.piccirillo</a> Every (in)decision matters.
