Thanks for the plug, Warren, but these days I do very little mentoring,
much as I would like to. No time! And yes, I am still Co-Lead of the
OpenOffice.org Documentation Project, which means I attempt to
coordinate the volunteers writing, editing, reviewing, the user guides
(aka "herding cats"). So what do I do for a holiday? Go to an ASTC
conference. I'm retired. I must be crazy. But I always learn something,
and I enjoy myself too.
See ya Friday.
