Dear Raul,
thank you for your mail ... I've seen the news on LinkedIn with
references for detailed information.
I had the possibility to present the challenges at a conference in a

but unfortunately the deadline has passed ... I try to check if can do
something anyway.
I keep you informed.
kind regards,
Davide
