Re: GSOC FEC week 2 blog post

Hey Kayla,

cool – good to read about you assessing when things don't go as quickly as planned. Just
as a bit of reassurance: Setting up a toolchain and getting it to work with *two*
medium-to-large C++ projects that are medium-to-old … that's a challenge! Please keep on
it, and never hesitate to ask the mailing list or in chat if you have any problems you
can't solve directly :) Things I haven't done well when I was a GSoC students include
talking to my advisors early when there's a problem, and you seem to be doing much better!

I really look forward to the results of your work: it's long overdue that someone does it!

I do have a bit of advice on your git usage, but I'll put that in a separate email,
because a) it's long and would clutter and spoil this email and b) I regularly tell people
the same, and maybe it's time I wrote a reference email.

Best,
Marcus
