Hi all, just want to point out that Heiko will lead and communicate in this project, so you will not read much from me, but I will be informed about and consulting the project as much as I can.
As I know some of you will attend the KDEPIM Sprint in Berlin next week, I would suggest to do a small in person meeting about what we are going to do here. Will everyone be there on Friday already?
