Re: New Foundation Members & News from the Membership Committee

[Allan Day <allanpday gmail com>]

Welcome to our new foundation members, and thanks to the membership
committee for their work!

I'm wondering - would it be possible to post these membership
announcements on the Foundation blog? New members to the Foundation
are really valuable and it would be great to do more publicity around
it.
