Oh my god, it's snowing, in Cambridge — this is just so wrong.
Spent most of my day on various QA and leader things, with some NM inbetween. I think I have now dealt with all mails from Nathanael Nerode in which he found inactive maintainers and suggested orphaning or removing packages. I've found some more developers who seem inactive who I'll contact soon, but it looks fairly good. On Sunday, Colin Watson, Daniel Silverstone and I looked through orphaned packages and removed about 30-40. Never put 2 QA people and an ftpmaster in the same room. This happened because Daniel and Rob invited us for dinner, and so we geeked around a bit in the afternoon, had dinner and then played a game of Mao — which has quite mind boggling given that a) I didn't know the rules, b) the rules mustn't be explained and c) new rules are created during the game (of course without explicitly saying what they are). Overall, a really nice day. On Friday, I accidentally met someone at dinner who's doing a PhD at the same place as I and of whom I didn't know that he was at the same college as I. He took me to the graduate room for Friday night drinks and introduced me to some people. Quite a few of them actually live in the same building as me.
