00:12:44 VAIVASWAT DUBEY: Hi everyone! I'm Vaivaswat, very new to the community. Apologies, my mic is acting up today so I'll have to stick to the chat. I've been diving into the codebase recently, specifically working on some PRs for virt-handler around migration targets and decoupling efforts of certain packages for k8s and kv client. Really excited to be here and learn from you all!
