For clarification, I didn't intend that post to be "the" announcement;
it was mostly my usual rambling about my day to day activities, but
the official sprint announcement was for sure meant to go to
u-devel-announce at . We just haven't figured out all the details yet; e. g.
Steve is talking to the server/Juju teams for participation, we
should agree to an IRC channel/pad etc.

Please expect an announcement on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Fully agreed. I like G+ for staying in touch, but I consider it a
"lossy" medium like IRC. People may read it or not, and it's not the
right tool for official announcements -- ubuntu-devel-announce@ is
just for that.

Thanks for bringing it up, and sorry for the misunderstanding!

Martin
