Hi,
Today Neutron drivers team again discussed the topic of the maintenance of
neutron-fwaas.

The team agreed to include neutron-fwaas again to Neutron stadium, with the
maintenance of Inspur and the guidance of Neutron core team, and with +2
rights to Inspur developers.

The logs of the meeting:

The process for Stadium projects:

Thanks for stepping in to maintaining and developing neutron-fwaas.

Regards
Lajos Katona (lajoskatona)
