Edgar- I’m a bit concerned about Fawad joining the sprint. He’s a new contributor who has never landed a patch in Neutron or Tempest. Closing the testing gaps with experienced devs is the goal of the Montreal sprint and I do not think we’ll have manpower to onboard new contributors (3 days is a really short time). While I’m happy to welcome more workers there, I do not want to waste his time or PLUMgrid’s resources.
