Hi,
    I have been wanting to make you aware for a few weeks now that we have
reached an agreement, in principle, to buy all of Basho's remaining assets
(except support contracts) from the receiver. Up until this afternoon, I was
constrained by some confidentiality needs of the receiver and was unable to
speak.

    We have agreed a price for the assets and are almost at the end of
sorting out the legal agreement. Once this is complete, this will then need
to be processed through the courts which, I am advised, should take a week
or so.

    It is our intention to open source all of Basho's products and all of
the source code that they have been working on. We'll do this as quickly as
we are able to organise it, and we would appreciate some input from the
community on how you would like this done.
