Perhaps FOSDEM is not the right place for this to happen, because this
is not much a technical issue and also because it will happen in
February, but if you think it's worth I will be happy to offer a slot
for a Community discussion on the matter, also as a way to collect and
share both Red Hat and Azul experiences on inheriting and leading the
project.
