Hi Bryan :) If you're willing to take on Python, there's plenty of
work to be done. The Kiwis don't do too much dev work though so if
that's you're interest then the Saturday mornings can probably be
missed if they are difficult to attend. I suggest looking through some
of the Sugar Labs material to get started with programming work.
Is that enough of a scent to get you going? Let me know if you would
prefer more guidance.
