Thanks for the explanation.

Good.

I think you'll get an information via mail.  This 24h is a rough
estimation.  If you register to Debian Med you usually need to wait less
than a hour.  It might help to ping via IRC channel.

I was told this might also need some time.  I'm not sure whether a
manual process is involved here but I have heard that the time needed
was longer than in other cases.  Perhaps trying from time to time is the
proper recipe.

Just beeing back from the (probably last for this year) cross country
skiing and considering that until Monday its more family time my
responses this weekend will be a bit slow.  So I'll beg your pardon
for the patience on your side that will be needed.  If you see no way
forward I'd recommend having a look into the Debian Med policy

   https://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html

which will not fully apply to OpenStack.  But you'll get a lot of
general hints and hints to essential reading.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
