[Osmf-talk] Saint Michael says ...

[Sergiy Drapiko]

Hello Michael and all,

Thanks for your welcome message! Here in Ukraine we know something about
stormy elections, but what we've learned is that the stormier they are, the
more people vote - that's a good thing.

Look forward to meeting everyone in the pub setting at some point in the
future!

BR,
Sergiy
