Hi Zubair,
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you very much for your good work during this GSoC! You are a remarkable contributor, and I'm thrilled to learn you're sticking with us! Indeed, there is plenty to do yet on ICM to release it. Let's get this going and help the world get a better view on internet censorship! Cheers!
