We'll be your publishing arm for all the interviews. Haven't yet met people interested in financially sponsoring the blog, but people like video much better. So it might be easier for you.

I'm interested to see what comes out of all these talks. If the problem is primarily isolation and silos, I think the most exciting thing about a potential solution is ensuring that these silos don't reappear.

Social networking, collaboration, so many fun ways to facilitate communication here.

Sign me up. I do love to talk about all my non-profit projects. Also I will volunteer if I can buy gloria a drink. I have been admiring her ever since she showed up to a CC salon wearing a barcamp shirt. ; -)

P.S. You are the next iJustine but actually funny. That could be your tagline.

I think its an awesome idea. The little bit I know about co-working and stuff like Jelly has come from you. It has helped spin the gears and also created a pool of contact's.

I'm wondering if there should be a convergence of the linux/top gun/2600 guy.

There might be some grants available for monetization.

We're all geeks, we just wear different stripes. I know a bunch of us love to learn about the other areas of geekdom.

Don't forget about us in Refresh Austin! With just under 400 members here in town, and an average of 35 - 45 people attending our monthly meetings, we can get the word out to all sorts of geeks, many of whom would like to participate and/or help you build this.
