Dear Jacques,

How did the lunch go?

I was completely buried that day, I could not make it...

However I keep getting notifications to do something with the ticket. Do you think you could sum up the outcome of the discussion and forward it to me/us?

Thank you and best regards,

Marton

Dear Jonas

Thank u for the comments. I hope that u got some decent sleep in the meantime! I did not know that u had also been the packer of the Debian platform code base ! Awesome.
Indeed I can customize the style so as to make it more 'objective' but the approach chosen here is that of an "informed" user of the CION user work platform.
The possibility to make it "third person" also depends on content. Gijs mentions various sites, sources, and concept documents that -indeed- would be more appropriate for such approach.
I will check it and adjust when I get it.

Best regards

Jaap
