[sv-ac] RE: Proposal: 2-day "Mantis Marathon" face-to-face

Hello,

I have been looking into the possibility to travel, however, there are
just too many other things. I could connect through webex / telephone
some of the time, the preferred dates would be 9/26-9/27. 10/2-10/3
would also work, but is already more full.

Best regards,
ed
