Tue Jul 10 15:23:10 CEST 2018

Hi Mathieu, all,

Thanks very much for the help in sharing the release. It's really
appreciated!

We've sent to the following lists: MECCSA, eccrea, medianthro, phd-design,
hackademia, eurograd. Also sent to air-l but not sure if it went through -
did anyone else see it there?

- K
