It can be a lot to cover over email and IRC :) We do have one member who is not in Seattle very often, though there was already a personal relationship before distance became a factor. Given that, I checked out your website and saw a lot of interesting parallels between the work you're doing and the work we're doing, so would want to talk with you outside of this comment to look for opportunities. Successful work on joint projects seems like one nice way of building a relationship over time. Plus, I like your blog and was wondering about adding both twitter (though not a real twitter user yet) and linked in, and there they were on your site! :) Hey Gerry,

I wish there was a way for people like myself whose work is all remote to take part in a cooperative work place. That's the joys of living in a smaller place specializing on a lesser known platform like Plone. I miss the sense of working together with others towards a common set of purposes. Any thoughts? Is there a place for full-time telecommuters in that kind of work environment? Hey Brian, that sounds a great place to work.
