Yes, 'zackly. What Ric said. And a step further, perhaps: Networking
with and within that list.

Example: for various and sundry reasons, I'm not in a position to leave
Berlin Germany right now, nor am I in a position to leave full-time
employment. I was self-employed in the past and I will at some point
again be self-employed, but it's just not an option now or in the near
term. But I do have some spare cycles available, and I'm very keen to
break the monotony of how I'm currently earning my crust, so to speak. 
If and when we get a nice thread happening, as Ric has described it, it
would be really tasty to maybe be able to network a bit to put some of
those spare cycles we all have available to proper use.

Oh and Ric, I cut my penguin teeth on Caldera. In fact, just last year I
retired a box running OC from 1998, which was still happily proxying a
small LAN to the world via ISDN dial-up. Time sure rips by, dunnit?
