Hi Xavier,

I would not exactly say this, because you are very 
responsive, when I ask you to do something it is mostly done 
in a very short time :) May be we should demand more ;-)

For 2009 I can foresee a lot of new cool features. Even if 
you where not such busy with CipUX core packages now, there 
will be a lot of new stuff in 2009 to be packaged. So we 
need you and very other helping hand, regardless how much or 
less a one do.

OK, good to know. So how about an winter meeting in first 
weekend of February?

Hey that is nice! We have some generally meeting of Skole at 
the end of January (new year meeting). But we will have also 
some CipUX meeting. I am open for suggestion of time and place.

I feel a little bit guilty because when you had time in 
August this year, I was to busy to organize a meeting.

How about a CipUX spring meeting in April, searching or 
programming easter eggs?

Sure! No intention to change that!!

I know! You forget mentioning the CipUX chat channel #cipux. ;-)

We are now a little more active this time developing some 
features for the RP project and also some efforts are put 
into upstream coding to enhance the overall design. You and 
everyone else is welcome to join this effort!

We will try to improve the situation and will communicate 
more over cipux-devel at cipux.org list. This will give us and 
others more opportunity to participate.

So I encourage everybody to announce CipUX things one works 
on and meetings on cipux-devel at cipux.org list! (not this list)

Cheers
C.
