+Subject: What's cooking in erlang/otp (2011-06-21)
+X-dev-at: b9d8ae5aa52774ed0ce12c9d21ad7f3670c2dca1
+
+
+During the month of July there will only be afew updates to 'pu' due to
+vacations. So do not be alarmed if your patches will be left unattended 
+for a few weeks, we will be back in full force in August, and we aim to 
+get as much as possible into the R14B04 release.
+
+As the last cooking email was done in a slightly different way, there
+may be some redundancy and or inconsistency in this one.
+Feel free to let me know if something is missing.
