I guess I'm at fault for not attending those conferences ...

Sorry if my post seemed out of line - I'm happy to see the thread here
with comments from everyone that answer my concern and questions, and
knowing that this was well coordinated now makes me quite positive
about this effort.

Marcel and me have certainly struggled with the problem that happens
when you attempt to bring connman into a more server-like environment,
so, I'm very pleased to see that there is a significant effort to
bring an appropriate solution in this space that actually involves
connman as well.



Thanks!

Auke

PS Marcel - Now we just need to figure out what to do with that
JavaScript engine for pacrunner and get it working ;^)
