Rare project developers

[Frédéric LOUI <>]

Hi Alexey,

That is great !
Thanks for your work.

Are you willing to support this project in short/medium/long term ?

If you are OK, you can move this repo to https://github.com/rare-freertr/

If yes please let me know. Would you be willing to be part of freeRtr 
organisation participant ?

All the best
Frederic
