Hello Daniel,

Great to hear from you. I've heard about the GSoC projects and I'm very 
happy that you managed to get those students to work in Tp. Being 
around, I will sure try to answer questions from students, if I can.

Also thanks for letting me know about the Free-RTC mailing list. I have 
now subscribed there as well.

Regards,
George
