RE: [stp-pmc] Contributions in the offing

["Mike Milinkovich" <mike.milinkovich@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oisin,

This is great news! Congratulations.

It looks to me that these contributions will definitely improve the
diversity of STP community. I like your idea of setting up incubators within
STP for these contributions. Hopefully setting those up and the new
mentorship process will get them off to a good start.
