[Cerowrt-devel] [Starlink] [Cake] [Bloat] In loving memory of Dave Täht <3

[Frantisek Borsik]

Well, I hope we should have Dave's nomination for Jonathan B. Postel
Service Award
<https://www.internetsociety.org/grants-and-awards/postel-service-award/#timeline>ready,
soon.

For starters, at least.

All the best,

Frank
