# Centurion Dan
  * did attend despite a late night and consequent late start, but then
    daylight saving helped me to still be on time :-P
  * have been working with parazyd to refactor releasebot - he's brought
    good ideas and delivered some very tidy code.
  * have reviewed and commented on evilhams build on commit webhook for
gitlab
    - looks good so far.  I think it needs to be in a separate repo though.
