Show and Tell
So, I’ve sort of started this thing at TOPP. It wasn’t incredibly intentional, it really just started with me getting some non-techies together and giving them the 30-minute tour of What It Is Those Wacky Guys Upstairs Are Doing.

But it didn’t really happen until one day, in #openplans:

So I did. Anyway, I say all this to lead up to this blog post I made elsewhere. The short version? I would like software to help in scheduling volunteer-proposed and volunteer-run events and am having trouble finding anything ready-made out there. Maybe I’ll make it happen; it wouldn’t be the first piece of code that I wrote for TOPP Talks.
