[socal-piggies] Project collaboration proposal

[Mark Ferrer]

Although I'm quite busy at the moment, I'd be interested in contributing
something to a project like this whenever I can. I agree with Andrew about
it feeling like a short term thing, but it's a good start (at least it'll be
easy to complete).

+1 vote for me.
