Hi Nick and Jose, 

Many thanks for inviting us! I would love to do a talk at LPC! Hopefully
in person too.

Given that there have been several talks around this topic at LPC
already, it seems very fitting, and we'll hopefully have more to share
by then. Actually we have more to share already :-)

https://lore.kernel.org/all/YmKE%2FXgmRnGKrBbB@Pauls-MacBook-Pro.local/T/#u

I assume we will have to submit an abstract soon? 

Many thanks,
Paul
