[lsst-dm-stack-users] git access rights

[Jacek Becla]

Mario,

Could we try to get together on hangout (Mario, Fabrice, me)
(say Monday at 11am pacific?) for 15 min or so to straighten
the problems Fabrice is running into? I was hoping we could
postpone less pressing issues and have you and Fabrice work
it out during the Qserv design/hackathon week, but I am not
sure if we want to delay it by 3+ weeks.

I don't think we have a compelling reason.

Thanks,
Jacek
