I'm traveling this weekend, followed by vacation all next week.  The  
good news is that I can spend considerable time on EPO stuff next  
week... but I hope someone else can get the working group announcement  
and the EPO announcement out (mdk? mst?  Someone send to Andy Lester)

I'll setup the Facebook and LinkedIn groups today

For the EPO site, what's going on there?  How do we get content there,  
etc.  I know that mdk has spent some time on the design, but I'd like  
it to look a little more ... "modern".  I'm not sure if it is my eyes,  
but the colors there are very difficult to distinguish and all run  
together.  Cory (gphat) is quite skilled in the photoshop department  
(he did the layouts for http://www.cartionary.com/ and http://www.roostermatic.com/) 
  and I can ask him if he can huck some work out towards EPO if we  
want some work done.
