[Sharan Foga <sh...@apache.org>]

Hi Joerg and Michael

It was good to see Mesos represented at FOSDEM 2017. I hope you had a good time chatting to people.

I've published my short interview with Joerg on Feathercast (see link below)

https://feathercast.apache.org/2017/02/04/fosdem-2017-attendee-interview-about-apache-mesos/

Thanks again for coming along (and thanks Joerg for the interview!  Hope to see you and maybe more Mesos people in Brussels for FOSDEM next year!

Thanks
Sharan
