[IAEP] introduction - hi I'm Donna

[Walter Bender]

Please join the weekly deployment team discussions on IRC (Wednesdays
at 14:00 UTC -- we can switch the times around if it is too difficult
for those of you in OZ). We have been discussing the various goals and
mechanics of local Sugar Labs and your voices should be heard.

thanks.
