Hi Shaun,

sorry, must have missed that. Sounds indeed very interesting and way
ahead of what i thought :) Of course it depends on others, but i know
from some people at least, that august might be a bit too early, also
it is quite close to akademy. But i hope there are more opinions to
come.

Cheerio,
Ingo
