Hoi,
I am really happy for Yuvi. He will continue to do what he does and will
become even more awesome at it.
At the same time I find it sad that he moves to the USA because he was
invaluable because he was available when the other Labs people were not
around. As such he provided a much needed service exactly because he lives
in India.
Thanks,
Gerard
