Hi @aaronhan223, @felixkrones. I hope all is well. This is a gentle reminder about the paper A Python package for multimodal data fusion. Please let me know if you need any help or support. Thank you for your efforts!

[crvernon]

👋 @atrisovic - we may need to get new reviewers if @aaronhan223 and @felixkrones don't respond soon. Could you please try to email them as well? Thanks!

[atrisovic]

Hi @crvernon I haven't had much luck with the emails and the search for new reviewers. I wonder if @florencejt has suggestions for potential reviewers?

[florencejt]

Hi @atrisovic! Thanks for your help on this, it's a shame about the other reviewers. I've got two suggestions for new potential reviewers: Sam Gijsen ([email protected]) and Cameron Shand ([email protected]). Sam has used fusilli before so is acquainted with how it works, and Cameron is a research software engineer.
Let me know if these suggestions are ok and if you'd like me to try to think of more.

[atrisovic]

Thank you very much @florencejt!! I will email them right away.
