Very cool to see you've finally got Fawkes packaged and submitted.  It looks
like you've already got a reviewer too!  I really like the modular framework
you've got set up, I'd love to do that with Player when I get spare time
(read: never).  But I digress..  I'm very interested hashing out the
specifics of a demo program, I've got some Player/Stage ideas but Fawkes can
play into things too now.

I was able to give the podcast a listen, very good stuff.  I wonder how many
subscribers this podcast has, it'd be nice if we got some more interest from
people that stumble across it.

I'm good for a meeting in the next few weeks.  After 5:30PM EDT is the best
time for me (also a PA resident,) but I'm flexible.  I've gone ahead and
update the SIG wiki page with current package review status, and some ideas
for a meeting agenda.  We can sort out some of our ideas in that agenda
leading up to the meeting.
