[PageOneX] [dev] New round of development in PageOneX

Wed Jul 4 06:06:58 EDT 2018

Hey Pablo,

This next Monday I can have some hours helping you if you need to move the
application to Docker. Prior to that, if you want we can set a meeting with
Rahul so that the time that I can work on the project is more focused.

Let me know if this works for you.

Regards,

Rafa
