I apologize for this. How many days would you need? If it is not too 
long, I have no problem postponing. Our main focus is to get a release 
out and TCK tested before the DevJam. The release process on its own 
takes at least a week.

I agree that discussing this more in detail would be best at FOSDEM. 
Glad to hear you will be there.


Cheers,
