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
