IMPORTANT: yahoogroups admin rights problem
Hello ALL, As many of you might know, currently we are unable to add new members to the ublas-ml. The problem is that only Joerg has the rights to add members to the list but Joerg does not respond anymore. Could some of you try to contact Joerg or give me his telephone number that I talk to him about this. If we do not have a solution by end of November I will create a new project on yahoogroups (and we all have to switch). Additionally we need to contact Joerg and Mathias (again!) about applying the Boost Software License. I currently have the impression that they are not willing to change ublas to the BSL. In that case IMO, we will have to rewrite uBLAS to not get thrown out of boost. Again his phone-number would be handy if you have it available. Please contact the ml or me asap about the above issues or we will need to take drastic actions. toon

If you have to start a new list, please don't use yahoogroups. Sourceforge or lists.boost.org are much better. --Beman

I think we have a consensus in the ublas-dev to change from yahoogroups to the lists.boost.org server. Anyone can tell us how to manage this from a practical point of view ? Who do we need to contact to host the ublas-dev list at lists.boost.org etc ... ? toon

Hmm... it's the second time I hear such statement ("we need to rewrite a library because of BSL") and I keep on wondering why? Isn't BSL a good, but *optional* thing? Does not ublas and threads conform to Boost Licence requirements? - Volodya

So far, yes.
Does not ublas and threads conform to Boost Licence requirements?
I think they do. At least, they'd better, or we really do have to throw them out. However, we have a strong interest in getting everything in Boost to use the BSL, and since the original authors have disappeared, we may collectively make a decision to undertake a rewrite. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
