I have searched the Internet for information and your company is one of the ones we would like to evaluate. I have a small questioner that I would like to send to you and to evaluate your responses as required by NASA. This is being conducted in order to see what kind of support and feedback we can expect from your company. I do not see a means of adding an attachment to a particular person of group and would appreciate an e-mail address to send the questioner to.

They probably have an appropriate procedure to evaluate\nsuch software -- perhaps one that is a bit different from treating the\nFOSS project as if it were an old-style software vendor.\n\nAlternatively, there are a couple of companies that offer git-related\nservices (hosting, training...); their people are on this list, or you\ncan look at the 'hosting' section of http://git-scm.com/tools\n\nhth,\n\n\nm\n-- \n martin.langhoff@gmail.com\n martin@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC\n - ask interesting questions\n - don't get distracted with shiny stuff  - working code first\n - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff\n"}]}
