Thanks Dave and Quim.<br />
<br />
Just to expand and clarify...<br />
<br />
I was looking for a way external to maemo.org to organize some third-party enterprise activity.  Not sure if my original idea is even worth pursuing... but it never hurts to get people thinking.  I do still think that expanding the circle of websites referencing maemo will be A Good Thing.  ; )<br />
<br />
However, I'm thinking I may start by creating a LinkedIn group first and see how that goes.<br />
<br />
As for Maemo employment-- right now I would like nothing more!  That is definietly where my passion and interests lie.  Unfortunately there are few to no roles for my meager soft skills, and the 1 or two I've seen that came close required relocation that I am unable to do.  I keep holding out hope for a virtual or Dallas-based role...<br />
