Re: Draft iota report for April

[Tony Faustini <to...@litbit.com>]

Hi Justin,

1) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IOTA-40 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IOTA-40> this is the cleanup ticket.

2) Barbara Gomes can have her key signed as she will be at ApacheCon and she can then sign Rutvij’s key

3) If we can move forward without a key we will do so immediately

Thanks
-Tony

Perhaps once the project has got used to development in the open and built a community on GitHub then possibly consider coming back to Apache? Do you or any other mentors have any thoughts on this?
