[Can anyone help add to this list? I'll create a wiki page, once it is
done.]

We badly need need Workshop Leads, people with PC hardware experience.
If you can tear down and rebuild a system, and install Linux on it,
you can run a workshop.

We need lawyer/business skills to help us with a business plan, to
re-incorporate and re-submit our 5013c paperwork, and work on the bylaws.

We need someone with stable, long-term, free hosting of a Linux-based
server, for our public web site. Right now we're EC2 cloud-hosted, but
need to migrate our site.

We need someone good at Ebay, to sell some refurbished hardware, to
buy LibreBoot-capable used boxes for us to upgrade and resell.

We need help getting hardware donations, especially multiple similar
units, instead of single unit donations; contacts with companies are
helpful.

We need people who have contacts at FOSS conferences/user groups,
community centers, high schools, colleges, libraries, and other places
that might be interested in hosting a Hardware Workshop or FOSS
training at their location.

We need FOSS software instructors, to teach a class once/quarter, 2-20
hours in length. Hopefully a skill that'll help with some job
placement, eg sysadmin-related.

We need a grant writer. To help with getting some funds from
Seattle.gov, WA.gov, and elsewhere.

We need an artist to help with artwork, 2D vector art for stickers,
brochures, tshirts, booth signage, etc.

We need someone with Program Mgmt skills, to organize group's projects
beyond the Workshop, eg, getting volunteers to pickup a pallet of
donated hardware and move it to lab. Today, volunteers attend the lab
and have no idea of queue of tasks to accomplish.

We need webdev help, maintaining web site presence. Currently
MediaWiki-based. The home page needs to be redesigned to be simple and
welcome for newbies, maybe a static HTML file, not a wiki page.

We need people who can maintain Twitter, Facebook, and Meetup
accounts, with outreach.

We need a web UI to simplify the process for Workshop Leads of
creating, announcing, and later publishing results of Workshop
reports. We already have wiki template.
