Thanks for the email gregor!
Talking as atendee to the meeting and bearing my part to blame on all the
chaos. I was bringing all the possible ideas to the save money I had gathered
from IRC chatting. I had (obviously) my personal opinion of where was better
saving money and this one did not seemed promising. Everything was supposed
to be discussed and agreed in the meeting, which sadly, did not work very well
:(
While talking about save in this chapter, security in the talks room, everybody
_seemed_ to agree on this, althought it was like a shocker when we found about
the amount of money saved... so it was kind of: we seemed to agree on
something let's move on.
