Re: Coordinators for patch review session on Tuesday

[Christina O'Donnell]

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the first one of these and I'm 
looking forward to today's session. I did want to go to the last 
session, but I lost track of time and missed it!

I'm a new contributor who's only sent a few patches up, but these 
sessions have been helpful for making contributing feel less 
intimidating. I haven't quite felt comfortable enough to review any 
patches on my own, so I do like the idea of pair-reviewing patches with 
someone who's a bit more experienced.

See you this evening!

Kind regards,

Christina
