Thanks, that sounds great. I look forward to the plan. You're right: there's no need to hurry. Much better to do it right :) Unfortunately, I have a work meeting that clashes with the stewardship SIG meeting, so I won't make it there today. If the work meeting finishes early, I will pop by to check if the stewardship meeting is still on. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
