Hi Vincent,

Both Deon and Rob would be good resources to avail yourself of. 

I am also interested in helping out in whatever way you/the guys deem helpful.

From my POV I think if there is more redundancy built into things (i.e. not
just one place to submit to / more than one person is across the service
and/or is able to offer it) the better.

I hope you're health is as good as it can be for many years to come good sir.

Yep, good you are thinking ahead.

I do have a spare Pi but Deon and/or Rob may well have kit (real or virtual)
that could be pressed into service also.

It's good you are thinking ahead, and thank you for doing so.

Best, Paul
