Hi Rob,

Dev-sig meetings have been suspended indefinitely essentially due to lack
of participation.
As far as the list goes, I'm still on it, and I imagine that Chris (who I
think is the bowler you had met) and Mark are probably still on the list
[Is that true guys?]
Anyone else still on the list that wants to ping it just to get an idea who
lurks?
