If you don't have better offers I wouldn't mind managing the email marketing/newsletter.

In the past, we lost resources like WOCode who went away because it was not owned by a group of different people or an separate organization. I didn't want this to happen anymore, that's why we registered the Association and that the server is paid (in fact, it's rented) by the Association.

>> As for WOWODC 2013, again no worry. We have an event manager that works on it, and I will be at the conference too. And you asked that we have an event manager so that the event go more smoothly, we have it. You also asked that we find a hotel with a better WiFi network, we found one (the WiFi network at the Hilton can support 500 devices easily, and we have a minimum of 10 Mbps guarantee just for the event). Yes, it cost more, but it was the cost to pay to have a better conference.

>> So if you hesitate to buy your WOWODC tickets or to get membership because I said I was going out, do not hesitate, and I'm sure other leaders will take over some of the tasks I was doing.
