If it isn't, I'm at a loss how to make everyone read and inwardly digest the contents of important messages like this one. If you feel that you need to reply to anything in this email, please don't; I probably won't even read it. ========================================================================= As some people are aware, the Ottawa Linux Symposium and Linux Kernel Summit are being held in Ottawa next couple of week, which attracts many kernel developers. Several people from this list will be attending the event. Since the events are back to back, and jammed-packed (eg, 9am to 11pm) with talks and the like, there is a high possibility that some of the more active people on these lists may not be available to answer questions, look at patches and fix problems as promptly as they otherwise would do. Please bear this in mind when re-sending your question to these lists. Therefore, I ask that people ensure that: - all mails sent to the list in the following couple of weeks are "high quality". By that, I mean, if you have a problem, please use the format suggested in REPORTING-BUGS (found in the Linux kernel source tree) so you enclose as much relevant information in _one_ self contained message. - re-sends of messages in the next couple of weeks are kept to an absolute minimum. - you don't send emails to them personally in the hope that you'll get preferential treatment (these types of mailings will probably end up in /dev/null) - you do resend the message after two weeks if you have not had a reply. Even if people do reply to _some_ emails, do not assume that: - they have time to reply to all emails. - they are going to be around the next day to read or reply to mails. ------- End of Forwarded Message
