First: Thank you so much for everyone who helped. So many people
have contributed in a meaningful way. I can't thank you enough.

Second: We announced the launch this morning, and already have had 3
computers, a washer/dryer, an office chair, and a 4-gallon Wet/Dry Vac
donated. Hopefully this list will continue to grow.

Third: For those of you still wanting to pitch in, take a look at the
UserVoice Feedback tab. We have already had several requests for
small, manageable enhancements that can really help the success and
usability of the site. Pick an item and knock it out!

While User Voice is not a ticketing system by any means, it's a great
way to crowd-source some QA. I would suggest emailing this group
(nashvill...@googlegroups.com) before starting on anything, or
making a comment on the User Voice request, to ensure we never have
two people working on the same thing. I'll be online all day (GTALK:
bsha...@centresource.com) for questions.

Thanks again. Thank you thank you thank you. I have great pride in
the symfony community, and you all should feel the same!

Brent said it really well - I only played a small piece in this, but I was so impressed with everyone's focus and talent. For those of us lucky enough to have only been inconvenienced by the flood, it was nice to give something back.

A full website in 3 days with a full test suite? That's top notch fellas.

Even if you haven't been involved, feel free to take a look at the source code at github - it's uncommon to that we get to see a full codebase from such a variety of developers.

And spread the word - this will only be successful if we get critical mass!

Thanks

Let me echo the sentiment of Brent & Ryan: you guys rock.

You can't imagine the number of complements, comments, and cheers I've
gotten from people throughout the Nashville community and beyond. The
ONLY down side to it all, is that people keep passing along awesome
suggestions!

Brent and Ryan will be working to coordinate some of the larger
ongoing development efforts. If you're interested in helping in the
next few weeks, please send either of them a note so they can start
farming out tasks.

Thanks again!!
