    Another idea that has been circulated…

    We should help fund get-togethers for volunteer contributors, so everyone can meet each other face-to-face and discuss important issues related to their work. It seems like a lot of people think this would be a worthy cause to support and we are ready to do that. So, we are putting out a call for ideas. If you are a volunteer who wants to try to schedule a meet-up or event, please contact us.

    We could definitely fund something like the following:

    –> a regional event or gathering for volunteers
    –> travel to a major conferences
    –> a BOF-like meet-up at an big conference

    Whatever gets scheduled, we’d encourage that the content and local planning be driven by volunteers, focusing on the subjects that volunteers want to discuss. We are here to help, but will definitely need someone on the ground helping with logistics, which can be hammered out once proposals are submitted and agreed to by the planners and participants.

    If you are feel like you have enough people in a region who would come together, please send me an email and we can begin the discussion.
