This is a stroke of sheer brilliance. Thank you for sharing it with the
list.

I have been invited to speak at POSSCON (http://posscon.org/) about the
student experience in open source and would like to partially employ this
metaphor (with a tip of the hat to you, Sebastian and POSSEs) in my
presentation.

If there's funds for sponsorship of a TOS lunch at POSSCON, I'd be happy to
put one together. I saw in a previous thread that managing grants for TOS
has been cumbersome, so not sure if this funding is still on the table.

Best,
LH
