Re: DebConf Content Team: Rise to life again!
Hi Gunnar,
thank you for all your efforts for the content team.
I would happily re-join after handing over my DPL hat in April to
the new DPL.
While I'm currently don't see myself traveling to Santa Fe I'd happily
work together with you to work on the content side.
See you (at least in 2027)
Andreas.
