Regarding: Open letter to the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) on the use of social media

[Stefan Rödiger [BTU]]

Dear Paul,

Thank you for signing up. We are very pleased about this, especially if we can win 
numerous participants. Unfortunately, our petition is currently stagnating with around 870 
people. Within the first few days, we had a very strong increase in the enrolments, so that 
we had raised our target from 1000 signatories to 3000. However, we are trying to operate 
the issue very seriously. I have been a KDE user since 2002 and are working on the KDE 
application RKWard. It will therefore not surprise anyone if I would be particularly happy 
about a booster from this site. Anyway, I am happy to wait for the review.

Many greetings

Stefan
