Actually none yet. We just email within ourselves. An organizational
list is in my todo. It's because the past few weeks we've been pretty
busy with real life (have been traveling) but what we've been up to

1. Incorporation of eKindling
2. Jump starting the plan again for the discovery session

On the side, I've been hanging out in the OLE Nepal channel and
helping Christoph and Bryan on the evaluation of Liferay portal, which
I believe they will need to use for Karma. Here are the details:
