Update | was Re: Measure-athon & Tooling Sprint | Sat. 16 July 11-19 at KDAB Berlin

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Important notice:

Our KDABian host, Volker Krause, has just learned a person he had 
contact with last weekend has tested positive for CoViD (rapid antigen 
test). Volker's own tests are so far negative and he has no symptoms. 
Let's hope it stays that way, first and foremost for his own health!

Should he test positive before Saturday, though, we will have a problem 
since he is the only one with a key to the office.

I wanted to let all of you know now so there are no surprises before 
Saturday's Sprint.

In the event we cannot meet at KDAB, we can still meet somewhere in 
Berlin and work on tooling and standardization, etc.! I will have a Plan 
B for that eventuality, and any suggestions are of course welcome.

Cheers,
Joseph
