And they're looking for CVs from volunteers for positions of Support, 
Marketing Exec, Partnership Development Manager, and Director. Feels a 
little backwards - sending a CV to volunteer for an entirely unknown entity.

any introductions on any.

Seems a good first step, then, maybe attend some virtual meetings.

Yeah, there isn't just "one voice" in Canadian Linux circles. There's 
not even one Linux voice inside my head over the course of a week.


But, more power to 'em, they probably cannot hurt anything.
