Raphael,<br><br> Sounds like a great place to get started, thanks for the info! I'm close to having an automated build of the unstable svn repository up on a FC4 box I have at home. Once I get that knocked out, I'll jump on over and say hello.

<br>> Thanks!<br><br><br>Hi Gregory,<br><br>great to hear from you.<br><br>I'm planning on introducing some quality management into the KOffice<br>(<a href="http://www.koffice.org">http://www.koffice.org</a>) project. I think with your experience at HP (and
<br>maybe lots of other things) there is probably quite some valuable input you<br>could share to make sure that the KOffice quality management infrastructure<br>will fit well into the general work flow of development. I'd appreciate that.
<br><br>If you're interested in KOffice quality management, you can join<br><a href="http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel">http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel</a> and say hello.<br><br><br>If you find another spot in the large KDE realm that you like, you can of
<br>course go that way as well :) Whatever you do, thank you for all your<br>efforts.<br><br>Regards,<br>--<br>Raphael Langerhorst<br><a href="http://raphael.g-system.at/blog">http://raphael.g-system.at/blog</a><br><br>_______________________________________________
