Wow.  One more reason I regret not living in the Bay area to attend that 
meeting.

Congrats on that deployment, Elizabeth.  I hope we get a chance to talk 
about that when you're down here for SCaLE.

Your contributions to the community have always been much appreciated, 
and I imagine it's especially gratifying to have them expand like this 
to a global scope.  Well done.  I look forward to learning more.
