Edgar-

I’m a bit concerned about Fawad joining the sprint.  He’s a new contributor who has never landed a patch in Neutron or Tempest.  Closing the testing gaps with experienced devs is the goal of the Montreal sprint and I do not think we’ll have manpower to onboard new contributors (3 days is a really short time).  While I’m happy to welcome more workers there, I do not want to waste his time or PLUMgrid’s resources.
