Glad to have found Advogato -- the model bears a strong resemblance to parts of an idea that's been struggling to get out of my head for the last 10 years or so; some of you have heard parts of it over dinner after SVLUG meetings. I'm real interested to see how the Advogato community develops.
In the meantime, I've posted a couple of my existing projects -- IPC::Session and Infrastructures.Org.
