I'll give a more formal introduction later, but this is such a good segue. I'm working on this project and want help from SFC chapters: http://officeofsharing.org/
Basically, let's all work on creating an "office of sharing" on our campus, which helps out profs and other community members who want to share their work but need some help. Let's keep in close communication so that we can learn from each-other along the way, and let's work towards making these "offices" sustainable, institutionally-supported things as quickly as possible (but in the meantime, all you need is some time, an email address, and maybe some web hosting). Email me if you want to help out with setting this thing up, and/or if you want to create an office of sharing on your campus.
