Hi all,

in this dev thread I can be blamed for the "short" name since we are under
an Apache mailing list and I keep is simple.
Apologies for that!

For the event itself we will use the proper name and I will ask tomorrow
for the permission to organize the event .
Thanks for spotting the error. It will be fixed ASAP.

Best regards
Alin
