Re: Project PM background and other information

At present, I've got a somewhat better handle on Project PM. My background in the States was in journalism and as a magazine editor. These days, I teach a variety of non-technical subjects in English at a university-level French Computer Science and IT school.

I'd be happy either to actively contribute the skills I possess for furthering the Project or to simply continue for the time being both as an observer and as a minor node, insofar.as I'm progressively forwarding information to my own network of contacts.

Hi, Jonathan,

Barrett Brown asked me to share information regarding Project PM with you. In a separate message I will give you access to several documents stored in Google's cloud, including instructions to access our IRC channel, which is most active around 6 - 7 PM east coast time, on Wednesday nights.

Here is a rundown on what we are currently doing and which members are active in each area:

Designing and building information-sharing software for the blogger/journalist network: Timothy Ellis, Scott Mintz, Campbell Vertesi, and Sundeep Gottipatti, among others.

Keeping spreadsheets and associate's information updated: Emma Allan

Planning for managing finances: Scott Mintz and Timothy Ellis

Overseeing the Science Journalism Project: Sebastian Gillen

Providing leadership to the Africa Project (in cooperation with First Praxis): Emma Allan and Kenneth Lipp.

Myself, I formerly did what Emma now does, and continue to help Barrett with whatever arises. I am a retired guy from Chicago, used to be a lawyer.
