<span style="margin:0px;padding:1px 0px">In addition to these, there are a few other challenges which Glance project faces - review/feedback time, triaging ever growing bug list, BP 'validation
 and followup' etc. I have some ideas to develop more momentum in each of these processes. With the advent of the Artifacts feature, new developers would be contributing to Glance. I would like to encourage and work with them become core members sooner than
 later. Also, there are many merge propositions which become stale due to lack of reviews from core-reviewers. My plan is to have bi-weekly sync-ups with the core and driver members to keep the review cycle active. As a good learning lesson from Juno, I would
 like to work closely with all the developers and involved core reviewers to know their sincere intent of accomplishing a feature within the scope of release timeline. There are some really talented people involved in Glance and I would like to keep synthesizing
 the ecosystem to enable everyone involved to do their best.</span></div>
