Jim's idea about going through AZOTO sounds like a good one. I visited
Azoto's web page but it currently looks unfinished. For example, the "join
us" page was not done. Who would be the best person contact for more info
about this? (One of the officers listed on the web page? Or is there a
committee for this sort of thing>) And since it's a non-profit, I suppose
that means it would be a volunteer effort. Has AZOTO done any other projects
besides the PLUG install fest mentioned on the web page?
Thanks,
Vaughn Treude
