Glad to hear that, and I understand about the time.

I would say the low response latency helps move faster :)

We could have a video call in background and/or share a screen or a tmate
session, as we try to make things work. Even just having someone available in
an IRC chat for quick responses helps, I'd say.

Everyone has their own preferences, of course, I'm just offering to be there
and discuss things and maybe work on something :)

As I just wrote to Philip, I've finally published the schema introduction
article:

Here's our talk, same MC as yours, but later:

https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/730/

and the BoF session next day:

https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/731/

Will be glad to meet you there, even though we won't be able to do
much in the 45 minutes we were allocated.

So please also drop by our "hallway chat", whenever you have time:

https://chat.2020.linuxplumbersconf.org/channel/kcidb

I'll be there every day of the conference, during Europe's working hours.

Nick
