Thank you

Since this is not the first meeting with content in such a section, if that section shall be featured again (and I am not saying it should), please:

1. At least avoid collapsing with the "F2F" "acronym"
2. Even better, use the description just given by Jonathan (I for one would not have been able to figure out that meaning even if the acronym had not been used.)
3. Ideally, detail when the face to face meeting took place or somehow allow readers to find what action items came out of that meeting.

Yes, thanks, though there is obviously nothing confidential in that mail, so my preference would have been for it to be public.

If replies to mails sent to spi-announce are not supposed to be sent to spi-announce, I would suggest either:

1. Setting the Reply-To to where they should go
2. Having the mailing list set Reply-To to where they should go
3. Indicating where replies should go in the list description
