[Pkg-escience-soc2009] [Soc-coordination] [Eucalyptus] Status Update ][gs (Week IV: A New Hope)

[Steffen Moeller]

Hello David,

thank you very much for your pleasant status update. I apologize for not being more
proactive, but this month was/is hell, really. I have some two weeks of conferencing now
and will calm down over July. This should allow myself to tune myself in.

Bernd's email address is in the AUTHORS file.

I just want to make sure that you are aware of the site http://alestic.com/ from where
the script to build AMIs is downloadable.

I have just cloned it and I am currently adding the files locally that prepare regular
Debian packages for what is in your archive. Do you mind? No, I don't have time, but it is
sufficiently easy, so it seems as a start, to do while initiating some bank transfers and
other maintenance :)

Best,

Steffen
