[CALUG] For anyone interested in volunteering...

[joe_tseng at hotmail.com]

When I dealt with them last year, they did not care what platforms were used.  I'm far more familiar with OSS (vs Dotnet) so that's what I used.  I also picked a project that didn't pre-define technical requirements.  The devs who picked my project did so because of my OSS requirements.  YMMV.

To summarize: for this event, the organizers are platform-agnostic.

I guess what some people are asking is if you development and implement
something in the OpenJDK for the GPL Java VM, will they take issue being a
.NET group?
