Tomeu, I read up a little bit about this and am willing to give it a shot. I will post later about specific questions I have regarding what my duties would be as the coordinator. I will, however, be in India all summer (June-Aug) working on a SoaS deployment. Consequently, I do not see myself having a lot of time for this position until the fall. However, if we set up a preliminary meeting on IRC sometime during the next several weeks, I can work towards some of the objectives on my own time table throughout the summer and continue weekly/biweekly meetings come fall. What are you thoughts?
