-0 I trust your judgment, so please do what you think is best. Nevertheless, here's my rationale: other people who are already involved with Apache are Lucy's most valuable potential recruits. Of all the possible candidates out there, existing Apache community members will cost the least to integrate and will be most likely to stick around. I think it should be our top recruiting priority to present a good impression to the people in this demographic and give them the maximum possible chance to click on a link, get interested and get involved. While our Apache internal announcements may serve administrative purposes, we have only so much contact with the rest of the foundation and we should make the most of our limited opportunities. If my reasoning is faulty, it would be helpful to me to understand why, though again, please do as you see fit. Sorry, I meant to get more done this weekend so that your work as RM could conclude smoothly, but surprise family visits and and then collaborating with Joe consumed my time. Marvin Humphrey
