Contributors,
I have added Olivier to the SystemImager project on SourceForge, but I'd
like to add each of you who want to contribute to the SystemImager project
on GitHub too, as that's where it will all be moving.
If you don't have an account yet, no big -- just go to
https://github.comand create one. Then send me an email with your
account name, and I'll get
you added.
Thanks!
-Brian
