Thu Aug 21 15:24:07 UTC 2014

Hi Mor, 

The blogpost is just a guideline / background on our open call. We use our Twitter accounts, Google+ account our personal accounts, the mailing lists and our whole community to spread the word.  After an hour we have 255 votes so it’s coming all together. Let’s hope it remains active.  We’ll be posting about our progress on our channels during the three weeks as well. 

All the best,
Pieter-Jan
