Hey! you just Volunteered!

And what will happen next is that I will pass your contact info onto the appropriate people, and they will get in touch with you about it.  Depending on what you volunteer for, that may mean starting up pretty darn soon, or it may be a while.  When I pass your name on, I will cc you, so that you can get in touch directly with them if you haven't heard from them.  My job is basically "matchmaking", and once that's done, my aim is basically to get the hell out of the way.

Questions?

Send 'em my way, and I'll try to get them answered.

Stuff you think we can use? Things we oughta know?

Let me know that, and I'll pass that along, too.  In general, the goal of the Element 11 burn community this year is to minimize the amount of new stuff that we use-- not 'cause we're cheap, but because it makes no sense to buy stuff when it's already hanging around in someone's garage/basement/storage unit.  So if you've got a lead on something that will make E-11 burn bright, let us know.
