Hello everyone,

After a long holiday break I would like to resume work on bringing the QA
SIG to life.
I proposed a QA SIG session [0] for the next PTG, but I'm not sure the
right audience will be in Dublin.

Could you please reply if you are interested but won't be in Dublin or add
your name to the etherpad if you plan to be there and attend?
If we have enough attendance in Dublin we can kick off there - otherwise I
will setup a meeting with all interested parties (IRC meeting probably, but
other options are possible).

Thank you!

Andrea Frittoli (andreaf)
