May I politely ask that we try to coordinate, these kind of blog posts aimed at developers, I have already done a few (which are also published through planet.) and I do have a plan on how to get students involved. If we blog towards students in competing angles, it might not have the effect we wished for. I welcome any initative (including this one), simply ask that we send the same signal. rgds jan I. > > Mike > > >> On 15.06.2016 11:10, Heiko Tietze wrote: >> Hi all, >> I prepared a blog post with the intention to find more people doing >> easyhacks.
