Thanks for saying hello. I guess my point was it's cool to see Open Source being promoted in this way. Too often educational courses and presentations are geared towards performing some task with some proprietary software. WEA is 'mainstream' as opposed to some geek forum, so this really is a refreshing change. Do you (or WEA) *need* any additional involvement from others?
