Good Morning!

I'm starting up a "listserve lottery", inspired by http://thelistserve.com/, but specifically for the hacker/govie/FLOSS/maker/nerd community.

The idea is to randomly select one subscriber each day to email all the other subscribers with a few words on anything they like - but hopefully something related to their work, their tooling, process, philosophy, something they'd like to build, collaborate on, etc.  It's a daily email to inspire, expose you to unfamiliar technologies and practices, connect you to folks who might not attend the same conferences.

I'll fire the list up once I get the first 100 subscribers, at which time we'll make things a little exclusive, by requiring a recommendation from an existing subscriber to join.  We'll moderate out anything offensive.  Lottery winners will have one week to draft their emails.  Winners will be selected randomly, so there's nothing keeping you from being selected more than once.  Your email will never be shared, unless you include it in your message.  All content is http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/.


I can't subscribers until they choose to do so in their messages, but I will say we've already got some big names in the hacker/gov20 space.  I think you would enjoy this!

So, hoping you'll consider joining: http://nerdServe.org (or reply to me with a thumbs-up and I'll add you directly.)


Thanks!
