Thanks very much Marco and welcome to the team! ;-)

I've added your name to the rota. I'm in the UK so let's chat on irc/slack
when you're about next week.

Here's the full PR backlog (but don't let it put you off :)...

-
https://github.com/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+org%3Akata-containers

Personally, I tend to "round robin" through the repos and crawl over the
list of open PRs in each.

If anyone else wants to join in, feel free to join us!

Bottom line: the more PRs we can merge, the more bug fixes, optimisations
and juicy new features we all get to benefit from :)

Cheers,

James
