Annual CELF Challenge

Items

Proposal for creating a list of technology projects

for CELF members to focus on for the year
How can CELF push the projects forward and get intercompany collaboration?
Want to make sure to follow Open Source practices, so
that non-members can participate and influence the
work

Need to make sure people understand its not an

unfunded request for work!!!

Does anyone need hardware that CELF or
it's members can provide?
Should we do a "hackfest"?
