Hi Trish

I am still around, and I agree Marcom is hardly a team at the moment, it 
seems to only really be the two of us at the moment.

I am not quiting the team :), I am still around, and still trying to 
help when I can or think I can, but what I think we need to do is try 
and get new people to join the team somehow.

I had to recently completely re do everything on my hard disk, and start 
completely over with a new partition table. As a result I am not sure 
where a file with my password for Mageia identify or a personal password 
hint is at the moment, and unfortunately unlike other sites, it seems 
can't just be sent a password reset email for example for the account. 
If I can't log in, I can't edit the Wiki.

I guess I got to find the file, or get one of the system admins to help.

As for the postmortem even though the lack of people we got the stuff 
done that was needed, and in a way, that's probably about all there is 
to say really. Oh and working on things on Piratepads I thought worked 
really well :).

You do indeed seem to be quite busy since moving back to Australia, if 
anyone wants me to do a bit more for Marcom, I can probably do that, as 
long as it's fully clear as to what I need to do.

As usual I'll be at the council meeting later, and you can read the log 
if you would like to.
