Hello Tim, hello QGIS PSC

I couldn't agree more with your reasons ;)
I understand that there are important project guidelines to follow,
and when I have been initially discussing with Paolo regarding this
possibility (joining the developer meeting for the purpose of creating
the infrastructure in the subject) I had no idea that this could be a
bit complicated because of these constraints.

One option to go could be that I still could work on this stuff
without being in Lyon but remotely. Would it suit?

Thanks again and sorry for bother about it ;)
