Re: [gluon] Leaving kdegames and gluon

Hi there,
since I joined this list (not so long ago), this is the first post I receive.
And what a coincidence that Albert is coming in Dublin, the city where
I'm living now. So, if you need a guided tour of the city or want to get
a pint of Guinness, you're more than welcome.
Btw, I'm actually studying Digital games here at DIT, so maybe we can
have a good conversation on game development :-).

Cheers,

Marco

NDAs suck, but it's good to hear you've got a good job that you price high
enough to take a step as drastic as this :) i wish you all the good possible,
and shall of course look forward to the day when your new employers get the
idea that open source is not a competitor but a resource to them ;) In
conclusion: Have fun! :D
