Re: [sdcc-devel] Release in early 2017? FOSDEM 2017 talk?

[Maarten B. <sou...@ds...>]

Hello Philipp,

It would be great if you can give an updated talk about SDCC at FOSDEM. I
also think you are the most qualified for it. I'll see if I can join you
again but cannot commit to that right now. I do offer my help with the
slides if you like.

Also, would you like to take on the role of Release Manager for the next
release? I don't like the idea that I am the only one who has experience
with that. I will of course help you where needed.

Maarten
