Fixing actual meeting time: 14:00 (Was: Sprint on Seturday 12th July: Reforming ftpmaster team)

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi everyone,

Apologies for any confusion caused by earlier announcements—I'm very
happy to see so many conversations happening in parallel, and I’m trying
to accommodate everyone’s availability as best as possible.

To enable participation from multiple time zones (including someone
joining from EST), we’ll start the session at:

   14:00 local time Brest (CEST) in the BoF room (oposite to Noisy Hacklab)

I also want to clarify the goal of this session to avoid any
misunderstandings: This is not a decision-making meeting, but a chance
to gather informed input from anyone who cares about how we work
together in Debian, particularly around the ftp team. Joost has kindly
volunteered to moderate the discussion (thank you, Joost!), and I plan
to mostly stay in the background, listening and taking notes.

This session is part of my personal effort to collect ideas and
perspectives for a BoF I plan to hold on Monday.  I’d also like to
explicitly state that I’m not approaching this in my role as DPL, but
simply as someone seeking to better understand different viewpoints.

Looking forward to the conversation tomorrow,
   Andreas
