[FreeGeek] Self-Introduction

[Lorraine Smith]

Hi Folks,

I would also like to introduce myself. I ran into Scott, heard about his 
latest project, and wanted to be a part of it. I've always thought computer 
geeks were like magicians, and that Linux was a character in Peanuts comix.

My name is Lorraine, and I've had over 10 years in fundraising - 5 years for 
a consulting company, 4 for Red Cross, and recently on the board for Potluck 
Cafe Society, and West Side Family Place.  I'm not remotely geek-ish (you 
should see what I'm typing on!) - but I like to bike.

Right now I'm a stay at home Mom - with 2 bosses under the age of 3. Very 
demanding, but fun.

So I'm keen to help, and will soon be meeting with David to figure out how 
best I can do so.

Look forward to meeting you all,

Lorraine
