These are the people we identified before as good people to help contribute:
* Allan
* Andreas
* Emmanuele
* Karen
* Garrett
* Jon McCann
* Lucas Rocha
* Vincent
* Stormy
* Sri
* Jim Nelson (Yorba)
* Guy Lunardi (Collabora)
* John Sullivan (FSF)
* Alex (Skud) Bayley
* Nick Richards (formerly Intel)
* Karl Fogel
* Havoc Pennington
If we get the date settled, I can invite them, or we can even set up a
call to discuss it, with some people in person. Anyone else to add?
