I agree.

>What kind of infos ?

They thought that my description of what we want to do was/is too vague. I 
thought that it was pretty clear:
1) To hold the *New Name Here* trademark and other intellectual property for 
the beneit of the general public
2) To aid in the public adoption of computers by providing a production quality 
easy to use desktop operating system at little to no cost to the general public
3) To encourage research into operating systems by providing quality source 
code to the general public at no charge.

They somehow thought that was vague. :-(

>Like if there are frenchies among us so they can boycott us ? ;)

The question never came up. ;-)

>Reminds me I have some alpha work on a BSoundRecorder to commit...

Very cool!

>Still nice to at least hear about them :)

We are about 99% public. Really. The stuff that goes on in the "leader" meeting 
is no where near as exciting as what we publish.

>Proud to be French anyway :P

People should be proud of their heritage, regardless of what the current 
government of their country thinks. :-)
By that, though, I don't mean to express my approval or disapproval of the 
French or US (or Iraqi, Saudi, Australian, Chilean, or Israeli) government, 
just to say that heritage means a lot more than the opinions of the people 
making the decisions at the moment.
