Good!

We should put together a structure for tracking feedback from the 
participant teachers, as well as techies, etc., etc.  We could use CVS for 
this, but I'm not sure what mechanisms we have to play with, who can host 
what, etc...  A web site is a good thing, as has been suggested, and I have 
the resources of a very active LUG, an engineering university, as well as 
my exam school for gifted students to draw from...

I am happy to see what I can do in terms of infrastructure and a technical 
staff (so to speak).  I do have experience in similar efforts (I used to be 
one of the technical directors for OMG, the folks who brought the world 
CORBA, etc..  We had 800 member companies that all contributed to technical 
conferences and other efforts...).  A good friend of mine, who founded the 
LUG I'm thinking of, does some Open Source work for Linux now, so I'm sure 
he can set-up the necessaries blindfolded.

I'm heading to Canada tomorrow, so I won't be able to respond further until 
Monday.  Think of me as a resource for getting this put together!   If the 
powers that be want to contact me, just shoot me an email and I'll forward 
all of my contact info...
