Hi Caryl!

Sorry to hear about that - best wishes for you and Ed that it all goes

Hi all...
I finally had a chance to check out the discussions about the motions I have 
proposed. Unfortunately I don't really have the chance to do much commenting as 
I am restricted to communicating with my I phone for a while. 

After a great 10 days in WA and going to LinuxFestNW (on our own dime), we got 
home and Ed started having dizzy spells. After a lot of testing, it has been 
decided that the time to get a pacemaker has come. So, if all goes according to 
plan, it will be implanted this evening and he will get to go home about 24 
hours later.

That means I will miss tomorrow's meeting. If I need to add anything to the 
motion or discussion before it comes up for vote... Send an email to this 
thread.

I thought this story was very interesting and I would love to know
what could be done to plug Sugar users into this resource and toolset.
Those both with and without bandwidth.

I've not explored the technical aspects at all, but the idea as
expressed is very intriguing.
