[patch] Spelling/Grammatical/Presentation fixes to power.c

by TwoTailedFox

Hi, all Just went through this file, and fixed parts of the Shutdown messages, so they actually look right. (Like replacing "i'm" with "I'm", and "signal" to "signals", for example). No changes to the important code. I do have one question, though. How does it tell the difference between whether or not to include one line, or two, in the quote at shutdown? A few extend to two (One even, to four) - TwoTailedFox -- "I had a handle on life, but then it broke"

Re: [ros-bugs] [Bug 986] devmgr - DeviceCreateHardwarePage, DeviceCreateHardwarePageEx

by Brandon Turner

Also, just 2 things i noticed: 1) int -> INT and void -> VOID 2) the name of the function should be the first word on the line per our unspoken formatting.

So, we've got some network functionality already, we've got a NetBEUI in the form of Sambs-NG, we've got most of the specialized stuff already out there. We've just got to get it all fitting together. (famous last words ;) Wesley Parish -- Clinersterton beademung, with all of love - RIP James Blish ----- Mau e ki, he aha te mea nui?

Voting rule

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

What happens in a situation where a project position is up for a vote, and only one candidate puts there name forward? Do we just state a unanimous decision, or to try and keep some kind of option do we do something like: [] Yes, I want <person> to be <position> [] No, I don't want <person> to be <position> There is nothing in the wiki for this situation. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Writing bug reports for every > patch doesn't make me happy. :-) Using bugzilla is the preferred method, but if you don't like using bugzilla to submit patches, come into IRC, speak to the devs and get your code committed directly through them. (if they aren't too busy) It isn't difficult to get commit access, but you must prove your worth by submitting code for a while first. You can then ask to be recommended for commit access. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Microsoft Office files in the trunk

In the branch of press-media, there are two documents currently. An MS Word and MS PowerPoint document. I'm calling for SVN committers for _no more_ MS Office documents.
