Dear Tills,    (01)

Oops ... I did mean Tue 2013.09.03.    (02)

We definitely want you around when we discuss this. We could try to
tacle this at a later call (or even, briefly at least, if the right
people are present) at the call next Tue (7/30) - OOR-Hackathon-n.03
on "API".    (03)

Regards. =ppy
