[just an example, not directly talking to Mikel, snip all the thread :))]

Hi all,
sorry for resuming this old thread, but I had a very busy month and I 
wasn't synced with OSM lists.

I don't want to be polemic and I don't want to feel a little bit 
offended, I'll take it as an encouragement to advertise my works better, 
even if it's not in my own nature (actually also sending a mail like 
this makes me feel bad, but I think you can understand what not sending 
it would mean, even if Frederik already said something about it). Don't 
call me an "hard-core OSM developer/mapper/ambassador", but at least for 
the mean of fairness (to me and to GSoC), even if I didn't achieve a new 
release of OsmaFrontend (too few time but I'm slowly on the way), this 
is what I've done after GSoC08[0].

Please don't take this as some kind of ugly narcissistic email, but only 
as an opportunity for me to clearly tell you that I'm still actively 
here, up and running... and I hope that the OSM community, which I 
always define "my" community and to which I'm always thankful for the 
opportunity that has given me running GSoC08, is still here with me.

No hard feelings.

Mario Ferraro

Even if not directly related to OSM, I'm contributing back to GSoC too, 
coding JS stuff patches for Melange, the web application which is 
currently handling GSoC09
