Really, it doesn't need to be beautiful or feature packed, but it needs to the basic stuff.

As for all the council quitting bluster -- Whatever. You got a Big Agenda you want to push? Run for council yourself.
Community SSU is TBH, ready to go, we have new servers (finally), a debmaster who is making the repositories, patches to be put into it.

I wasn't doing anything related to this of the sole reason SD69 and lma had taken up the torch of pushing this forward and I'm not for one to take over projects from others. I've been ready for any action items for me to take care of for a long while. But it has all been waiting on new servers and getting actual repository going. The question is then, who's supposed to take leadership of the project?

What I -did- do in the last couple of days was visiting Finland. And discussing several issues related to the community. Such as, how to deal with things legally if we need to drop in a binary package and distribute it, what if I have the shot at patching a closed source package from N8x0 and how to distribute the results. All relevant to community SSU.

As for council quitting bluster, I'm going to assume that was regarding the rucus from the other thread and not based on the quote from my post.

P.S. If anyone wants a exact output of what I've used my 20hours/week on they're more than welcome to ask as I keep track of this.
