[NCSG-EC] [NCSG Techteam] Call with Wapix this week re priorities

Sat Apr 13 04:05:40 EEST 2019

Hi all

A quick update:

The call went well today, Tapani (thanks again!) was there too to provide
some info on points 3,4 and 5 and add #6 which is migrating the mailing
lists and archives.

Wapix will come back to us with an estimate which I will circulate for
approval once I get it.

Have a nice weekend,

Raphael
