RAN2#72

Have to be honest, the meeting location was a lot better than I expected: food and bars within walking distance + meeting rooms with windows, what else to wish for ? ;-)

After being stuck for 13 hours in a meeting room, strange things start to happen! Pictured above, an improvisation of privacy screen :D
