Thank you!

When entering this panel idea the form wouldn't let me add my other panel members in the description. I'm honored to mention that Cindy Li and Leslie Jensen-Inman will join me in this panel. As a matter a fact it was Cindy's initial idea to do a panel together. I'm sure we'll make it an extra interesting and colorful one, one not to miss for sure :) I really hope it'll get selected.
