[FFmpeg-devel] [ANNOUNCEMENT] almpeg

[Kieran Kunhya]

Hi Michael,

Here is how this should be handled.

"Hi Paul,

I'm sorry for aggressively trying to force SDR into the FFmpeg project
over a period of several weeks in spite of objections from you and the
community causing you to leave.
FFmpeg is now a better community* and we would love it if you could come back.

Regards,
Michael Niedermayer
"
* Narrator: It is not a better community

Regards,
Kieran Kunhya
