Good for you Julian  :-)
Over the years, I've witnessed exceptional acts of generosity, 
cooperation and community within HOSEF and LUAU. However, the level of 
bickering has surprised me. Being an educator, not a geek (in the 
positive sense), my rose-colored expectations lead me to believe there 
would be a greater sense of community. I hope HOSEF and LUAU can evolve 
into a strong, positive force for change. The kind of change that will 
have a local effect for the little ones who pass through my computer 
lab year after year. Many of them would benefit from a strong local 
FOSS community. HOSEF and LUAU have enormous potential. I feel 
privileged to be a tiny tiny part of it.
