yo,

I want to let you know about a new project starting up that aims to
get people of all skills and backgrounds together  in one place to do
work on a different project each time. Do you have project ideas or
modules that could benefit from group focus? Do you want to host a
work session? Do you want to see what your peers are working on?

You can find out more from the google group, which requires that you
become a member because it contains some sensitive information. Anyone
can become a member, just tell another member (like me) to invite you
to the google group.

Here's the group's description:

Accomplish social good by harnessing the creativity and motivation of our
local community. Host regular work sessions in which we focus on a particular
problem or project and use our varied backgrounds to make progress. Facilitate
knowledge sharing and collaborator finding.

What next:
 * Invite everyone you know to join. Google group name: AllTheBuilders
 * Add your projects and ideas to the Projects wiki page in the google group.
 * SIgn-up to host a module--this means we all work on your project!!
 * Add events and resources to the "Other Events, Networks and
Resources" wiki page.
 * The email list "allthebuilders at groupsgoogle.com" is a great place
to discuss ideas and get feedback in between meetings.

Everyone is welcome, so pass it on.

Thanks,
Lucy.
