[ silly me, i forgot to forward this to the mailinglist ]

Congratulations Andrea and Team!

I'm glad to announce that 0.2 is (still) under review for Fedora (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506232 ). I know I started
with submitting 0.1 but there were a few things from my side that
needed to be sorted out besides the licensing issue, which is supposed
to be resolved now (see comment #6 in the report). Now it's just
waiting for the reviewer to finished the review and then I can commit
it to Fedora. :)

Keep up the good work!
