Hi, I'm Rich Bowen, the Community Manager at SourceForge. I was just chatting with Fingolfin on IRC about the state of the Flac project, and I wanted to let you know that I've jumped into the fray. As Community Manager, I'm interested in the health of projects, and I spend a lot of time looking at projects like Flac that still get huge numbers of downloads, but haven't cut a release in a long time. Anyways, I understand that you guys have picked development back up, but just don't have admin access to the SF project. This is where I come in. I've sent email to the project admin of the project, to see if he's still reachable. I understand that you folks have already done that, so this is more a courtesy than anything else. If he objects, then we can't do much more, by policy. However, if he doesn't object, or if he doesn't respond at all, I'm inclined to give you guys the access that you need to do whatever it is that you want to do with this project - whatever that is. So, please let me know, either her on the list, or off-list, if you prefer, what the consensus is that you want to do. Specifically, who would be added to the SF project (I'd need SF user IDs). Ideally, with my official SourceForge hat on, I'd like for you to stay at SourceForge. But as an Open Source fanatic, I'm primarily interested in the health of this very important project, and whatever I can do to facilitate that. --Rich (rbowen at sourceforge.net) -- Rich Bowen rbowen at rcbowen.com rbowen at apache.org Shosholoza -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Mike Wren is attached to the project (I saw his name in the archives) but he's not an admin, and also the email address that's attached to the account isn't valid any more. -- Rich Bowen rbowen at rcbowen.com Shosholoza -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If Josh doesn't object, you can add me as an admin to the SF.net project and I can take care of updating the website. My SourceForge id is 'giles'. Cheers, -r

My SourceForge id is 'giles'.The main problem here is that Josh isn't responding. If anyone is in touch with him and can get an explicit OK from him, that would greatly simplify the process on my end. -- Rich Bowen rbowen at rcbowen.com Shosholoza -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
