@grimm do you think you will be available for this? Or should we choose another release manager? ---

Hello @dkayiwa, following the recent internet ban in the part of Cameroon where I live, I’m not very sure if I’ll be online at all moments as I predicted. I would really love to have taken this role, but I don’t think it will be possible. I think it will be best to choose a new Release Manager. But I hope this not mean I can never be a release manager in the future? ---
