Hi Julian, Thank you for your support in this and all other mentors too, really appreciate it! And super excited to get Hop working "The Apache way". I've been reading up a lot in the documentation Apache provides but you have to know where to look... A Zoom call to quickly go over all the next steps is a great idea, so we know where we are and what's coming up.
I'm available both Wednesday and Thursday.
