No problem. I've had stuff to do here as well. Holidays are coming here
too, but one week will be short enough...

3 months is too short a time to bundle enough new features to warrant a
new release, while 4 months is just enough to give me a little break
while still allowing substantial advancement in the project.

But I do agree that once we join forces on the toolchain part, a 3-month
cycle will be OK.

Will do in a separate post.

I'll be attending FOSDEM, but am not too sure I'll be able to stay monday.
In fact, I already have a train home booked on monday. If I can cancel it,
and arrange for a second day off tuesday, then I'l gladly join, if it makes
sense.
