Thanks Nick, I was going to ask, where the discussions are happening? I saw a note about Slack. Slack is not appropriate as a form of community discussion as: 1) The current Slack system that is linked on the website is only available to MIRACL employees! https://milagro.slack.com/signup 2) All discussion should be part of a public archive- http://apache.org/foundation/public-archives.html Slack message history is proprietary to Slack, the ASF and the community get no visibility.
I think I'm the only one on the PPMC that isn't a MIRACL employee and it very much feels like I'm on the outside at the moment, I'd like to contribute but not really sure where to start. Regards Anthony P.S. If anyone is at ApacheCon next month, send me an email [email protected] and I'd like to catch up and say hi.
