Hi Philip, :)

I personally don't know if I will be going and it's looking unlikely 
right now (mainly due to vacation I have at the time).

This list of feature branches reminds me. I would like to merge the 
external-crawler branch to get an unstable release out before the stable 
releases hit us mid August. Any chance you have time for review Philip? 
I don't want to merge without any review and I think Carlos is a bit 
loaded right now.

I can certainly give some review or tips or help towards a presentation 
on any of the content/feature branches if that helps.

I don't know if Carlos will have time or be going, but I think it would 
be good to get some round up or summary of what's been going on more 
generally for whoever presents at FOSDEM.

I will happily help you out Philip!

It would be interesting to hear those but also what people think of 
Tracker and what they would like fixed as a priority?
