OK; please understand that there's a very strong chance that this list will be shortened to 5-7 projects. It's not going to be inclusive for the CFP, as space is limited.
Here's exactly how the PMCs can help: promote the CFP and let your community know how they can participate! I'll ping y'all once we've got the edits up online. I'll tweet about this as well.
