<div>Hey folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Normally I wouldn't talk about health problems on a public mailing list, but its not super private - just teeth problems. I wanted to explain why I have been MIA for 4 weeks. I had a tooth infection, which turned into a root canal, which turned into
a failed root canal, which turned into a worse infection. People can die from tooth infections, so it can be pretty serious, but I'm in the clear now. The infection has cleared and I have a crown procedure Thursday, which should be the end of the tooth drama
for now (YAYAY \o/). Basically I have been unable to do much because I've been in so much pain and not able to eat well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But I'm back in action now and everything is nearly healed up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since our community is really diverse, it is also extremely resilient and Kolla has held up well in my absence. As a result this may not be necessary, but please feel free to do the following via off-list email:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>#1: Send me the #1 problem you would like me to solve for you ASAP</div>
<div>#2: Send me the #2 problem you would like me to solve by the end of the year</div>
<div>#3: Send me the #3 problem you would like me to solve by the end of January</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will prioritize these and work down the list of outstanding requests (and keep them just on my personal TODO). Please don't feel like your imposing – this is my responsibility and without communication I may not be able to effectively service our community
needs. If it is something I should know about or already committed to, please still follow the above process so I can have a record of what people need from me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
