Wed Jan 22 15:51:51 UTC 2020

Dear all,

thank you for the expressions of interest I received so far. We already
have a considerable number of interested people together, and I plan to
disseminate send out Doodle poll on January 29. I guess this will be among
the latest messages on this mailing list, but I hope to see all of you back
on the new mailing list, again. Details about the migration to announced
soon.

Best,
Christian
