            Well, its alright. As long as there is *real* activity or
so I believe. I know that there are contributors in this list. You,
Manish, Sharan, Kushal - so fair enough ( that was counting only kde
contributors whom I know, I know that there are many more on this list
- Indlinux, Django, GNOME, localisation etc ). Though more people
surely won't hurt :)

            Yups, I have had the opportunity to talk to some of them
on irc. Seriously helpful community. Cartman pretty much laughs at all
my jokes, so coolness. But really, I was surprised other day when I
was there. Good gang, you have there.

            Coming back to topic, things are changing slowly - very
slowly but they are  so I am happy with it. I am sure we will pick up
speed sooner or later. This year SoC, I see quite a few Indian
candidates applying for KDE project. So people either picked up from
this list or the lugs lists where it was forwarded or maybe from some
other source.

              Cheers to that! And highfives even! And remind me to buy
you appams when I visit Kerala next time.

               Well, its alright again. I myself have reduced my irc
hours - well atleast on some days.  But as long as it works its
alright. Sometimes irc can be "time and attention sink" - to quote an
ex-core-KDE developers and one of my favourite ones even :)

              Chief KDE Hugger is never wrong :P. No actually you are
right. Taj showed what he could do with PyQt and GfxView at
Foss.in/2006. So +1

                The only *correct* thing about that line is, you got
my name right this time and twice even. Thanks :) . Rest of it, I am
not sure why you said so or why was it necessary.

                And there is a lot to achieve as yet. So good luck.

                Cheers!
