Public SourceMage Discussion List

["Bertrand Juglas" <b AT juglas.name>]

Hello,
count also on me to help in building this 64-bit system.
I will come in #sourcemage-cauldron and #sourcemage this french
evening to see who is online and discuss about that.
I could host publicly a SMGL virtual machine on a 64-bit physical
machine if that help but do you think it will help ?
We need to coodinate our efforts to make them more effective.
See you in few hours,
Bertux
