Hi Zach,

Excited to see you're so passionate about building out the SCALE network.
We'd love to have you on board on our volunteer team.  Lets sync up and
come to consensus on a plan before reaching out to sponsors.  We have a
great deal of hardware that we own already and we should get on the same
page before we make external requests, especially since many of the
hardware vendors sponsor us in other ways at the moment.

I'll defer to the current Tech Chair, who is Bala,  on timing but lets
schedule a meeting soon. We're just hitting the time of year where we'd
normally kick off our event planning for 2017.

I believe Bala is traveling this weekend, but I'll add you to the tech list
shortly and we can continue discussing how you can best help the team.

Thanks again for wanting to make scale awesome.

Regards,
Ilan
