The travel time from the Eastern US is enough shorter that I'm probably more likely to make an EU sprint than a JP sprint[0], especially since I could combine it with other work visits in Europe, for what it's worth. That said, it'd be nice to give our contributors in Japan a shorter commute. We've been talking about it for years. Augie 0: For the "family constraints" mentioned - we're still enough in the "new family member" stage I don't know how easy travel will be in the fall, so I might have to be judicious about how much time I spend away from home. There's a chance I wouldn't make /any/ sprint this fall, so probably don't plan around me? > _______________________________________________ > Mercurial-devel mailing list > Mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org > https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel _______________________________________________ Mercurial-devel mailing list Mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel
