I can confirm that my workload became more rather than less due to
Covid-19. However, the trick to take part on the sprint was to simply
take vacation - just as if I would have traveled to some remote place.
The online nature of this year gave me two extra days for work - in
other years (at least most of the years) these were traveling days.
Works quite well for me and I confirm I'm fully working on Debian Med
issues yesterday and today - interupting only for food. It needs some
discipline (and some understanding from my wife which I luckily get -
thanks Katrin) but it works. My recommendation is to simply behave as
in a "normal" sprint: You are *not* at home - the room for the sprint
is just provided at a very well known location.

I tended to says so in the past but since I subscribed to the merge
request (just forgot how I did that, sorry) I'm reading these and
usually process these. However, my prefered way to deal with the
repositories are direct commits pushed right into the master branch.

I wonder whether we should do another sprint this year - and more people
will follow my suggestion and take at least one day off + dedicate the
weekend.
Kind regards
Andreas.
