Regardless of what happens with the developer post, we should definitely try to
evaluate what technical expertise we have among the community and how we can
make use of it. Organising a hackathon or something similarly nerdy is a good
step in that direction, especially if it includes an opportunity for somebody
like me to learn from that expertise without being judged on my ignorance! :)
If you need a hand organising anything, Lewis, do feel free to drop me a line
and I'll do what I can.

I'm sure if we wanted to start a volunteer group, if I manage to get round to
organising a Hackathon (Its still very much on my mind, I'm going to get things
rolling soon) this year, then that'd be a good place to meetup and organise an
effort I assume... my knowledge is far from complete but I have experience in
certain areas and I'm willing to help out...
