[Discuss] Fwd: [OpenWrt-Devel] Introducing the LEDE project

[Paul Fuxjaeger]

hier finden alle die Idee gut, denn die zentralen openwrt devs stehen dahinter. Die Communities sind gestern eingeladen worden ein Endorsement abzugeben. Würde dann auf https://www.lede-project.org/ unten aufscheinen.

Was haltet ihr davon? Gibt's einen guten Grund ein Endorsement NICHT zu machen? Ich sehe grad keinen.
