No, I'm not - could you point to your mails about those topics?

Is there any plan to support the development of OpenSync by providing some 
people to actually develop on OpenSync Core and the OpenSync core plugins or 
even on libsyncml? Currently I only hear that everyone is planning to use 
OpenSync, but everyone just wait until OpenSync is "ready". I don't want to 
sound rude ... but the development ressource of OpenSync are very limited and 
could need some more people which help on hacking on OpenSync and solve 
complex tasks. I already spent 110% of my spare time on OpenSync development, 
but thats seems to be not enough... and no! OpenSync is not part of my 
regular work.

Not quite sure how you involved into Ubuntu, but could you fix Ubuntu Gusty 
and upgrade to libsyncml 0.4.2 at least? libsyncml 0.4.1 is broken and year 
old - and currently i get overloaded with user request from Ubuntu Gusty 
users which can't sync because Gusty got shipped with libnsymcl 0.4.1. If 
version update isn't acceptable - could you at least apply:
