Hi,

I doubt I could help with organizing, but If you need someone with career
experience in Open Source to talk or give advice or help in some other way,
I would be happy to help.  I don't contribute really to the Ubuntu project,
but I have been developing on and contributing to other Open-Source
projects through my entire career as a software developer.  I now lead a
team of developers who work mostly on top of an open-source stack and I
have a lot of experience making Open-Source work inside a company making
proprietary software.

Cheers,
Na'Tosha
