[3715.90 --> 3719.20] we're going to ask one simple question because that's that's the way we're going to roll around
[3719.20 --> 3725.90] here but um inspectors new it's you know let's say it's you know barely a day old in terms of release
[3725.90 --> 3734.48] um can you kind of give the listeners a way that you're looking for engagement you know is there
[3734.48 --> 3738.92] a feature set like you'd mentioned earlier you know supporting different systems debian and and

[3743.18 --> 3749.82] hit list that you have a road map how can people jump in and and help you launch the open source side
[3749.82 --> 3756.86] and right and uh maybe even how to buy the pro side well i what i would love what i need right now
[3756.86 --> 3761.66] is just users you know it's a brand you know it is a brand new project so i would love people to

[3775.12 --> 3780.12] but i'm sure that there's uh plenty of room for improvement there so maybe some code review on
[3780.12 --> 3785.40] certain areas yeah exactly i mean if there's a if you know you got more of a debian guy or more of a
[3785.40 --> 3796.26] um a fedora guy uh wants to or or girl for for that matter uh agenda is is not an issue um if if
