Tons of progress with over 30 very different people participating now--
nevermind the evening social events Mike Lee & all are organizing almost
every night.
This week's Call Conclusions / Forward Challenges:
(A) People not familiar with Book Sprints should read why on earth we're
each paying our own way to lock ourselves in a room at Gallaudet
University in Washington DC for a week-- and why you might too ;-)

(B) Next Sunday we'll need all your best Teacher/Deployment/Activities
stories listed (everyone prepare a tiny list, real quick contact
everyone on your list for killer/fresh materials) to get us closer to
nailing down an actual Table of Contents. At that time we'll all start
to nail down what inspiring chapter *you* want to
write/photograph/mentor with which SME (subject matter expert), so Be
Prepared :-)

(C) To this end we made lots of Wiki changes live on-call this afternoon
-- thanks to all the people who joined, agreeing that all attendees
(in-person and remote) should now write in the chapter OR skill you want
to contribute, right next to your name here:

Everyone can do this, by clicking "EDIT"
(D) Being an Immigrant is NOT Easy: Giving even the brightest teachers
cultural bridges to (open source, alternative power engineering,
constructivist, shipping/import, volunteer, finance etc) needed to
inspire a successful deployment *won't* be at all easy in let's-say-30
pages. But we Supportives _won't_ give up easy!
(E) Please volunteer or suggest who might be our Photo
Archivist/Librarian/Editor collecting our best images we'll each dig up
from places like: (in case our Gallaudet Univ interns don't come through)
