[Bigbang-user] [Bigbang-dev] Starting BigBang work for Article19

[Niels ten Oever]

Thanks a lot for this Sebastian!

Am looping in bigbang-user here as well, because would really like to hear from users as well if they have specific questions they would like to be answered, or issues they would like to see resolved. 

Shall we put out a doodle for the meeting? The timezones might be tricky since I think we might have people participating from Bangalore to San Francisco? Or am I wrong in assuming that?

Cheers,

Niels
