Hi Tim,

regardles of paid support there are certain things where better  
communication would be awesome. E.g. I'm slowly, but steadily,  
working on infrastructure to increase the quality of BitBake,  
OpenEmbedded and the packages we build. It is progressing slowly as  
I'm doing that not as part of university, internship work but solely  
unpaid in my very limited spare time (no I'm not looking for money  
directly). I believe that some of my personal agenda matches the  
goals of CELF and other entitities so it would be really nice if  
cooperation could happen (I will write something about my QA view in  
separate mail). I do not know how feasible cooperation is but we  
should try to have a fruitful exchange of our ideas and plans. As  
long as the result will be freely available I'm confident everyone  
would be happy to see an entitty helping or contracting someone.

kind regards
