CTF has been nice enough
to respond to my mail about interacting with each org over a one
week period to understand how we can help. I guess it would be interesting
for all of us to see how this discussion group can help each other.
So please read CTF's profile below and give your suggestions as
well as indicate ways how you could collaborate, help, or advise.
It would be nice if you do it now itself by hitting the reply button
and writing your thoughts as you read. :-) Thanks, Vinay
