What BSDCan video you are talking about, is it possible to include any links? What's core@ and developers@? Can't see any such lists. I've briefly checked the list archives in the last few months and haven't noticed any thread related to this "Introduction". What's going on? If I may, if core@ was asking anything of anyone on this list they would likely post a question here, not do it through a BSDCan video? GrzegorzJ
