[13:55:10] <markvandenborre> hi!
[13:55:23] <markvandenborre> anyone who has been in direct touch with people at allwinner around?
[13:56:34] <markvandenborre> who can tell me about recent changes (if any) in their attitude wrt respecting copyright and collaborating with the FOSS community
[13:57:23] <markvandenborre> (this is in relation to their potential sponsorship of a rather big FOSS conference
[13:57:26] <markvandenborre> )
[13:58:14] <markvandenborre> if they are (making a start of) changing their attitude for the better, this might help pull them in the right direction
[13:58:40] <markvandenborre> but if they're still totally clueless about how to collaborate and neglecting basic gpl stuff
[13:58:58] <markvandenborre> we'd probably rather not have them
[14:19:51] <tbr> I thought they contracted at least one person to work on cleaning up and upstreaming.
[14:20:10] <tbr> might want to look them up and contact them.
[14:57:49] <markvandenborre> tbr: thx
[14:58:05] <markvandenborre> if you have any more info on who this person might be
[14:58:10] <markvandenborre> that would be helpful
[16:01:04] <tbr> markvandenborre: I was specifically referring to this: http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/pipermail/arm-netbook/2015-March/010447.html
[16:22:35] <markvandenborre> tbr: thx
