Thanks Jason, <br>Yes, please e-mail me if you'd like to get involved, the SC meets once a month via teleconference and we're looking to include more people. Please also mail me if you are an existing chair in need of help, or wanting to step down from your responsibilities and try another role on the SC, or take a break.<br>
cheers, <br>John<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 12:43 AM, Jason Kelly <<a href="mailto:jasonk@mit.edu">jasonk@mit.edu</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
John Cumbers has been elected as the new SC coordinator! Congrats<br>
john, may you steward the community well :)<br>
<br>
In honor of John's new position, I have added a redirect on the<br>
official SC coord torch page:<br>

<br>
ah, that's nerdy.<br>
<br>
As my last demand, I'm going to request that all the SC chairs get in<br>
touch with me and john to give a debrief on their position, and help<br>
brainstorm how to bring in new folks to help them out / replace them.<br>
We used the positions to good end previously to help the SC expand<br>
outside the "MIT crowd". However, now that there's a close-knit group<br>
of folks who regularly attend SC meetings, I want to make sure we are<br>
still providing opportunities for excited new folks to come in without<br>
feeling overwhelmed. Any suggestions are welcome on how to do that<br>
better.<br>
<br>
thanks!<br>
