Good point. I've booted an issue:

https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition/issues/6

If you have an updated bio could you add it there or just email to
opendefinition [at] okfn [dot] org.

I'd love to stay on and contribute where/when I can, which I hope to be more in the future as I reshuffle some priorities, but understand if we need to make room in the future for people that have more cycles to devote to this.

Really appreciate this offer Jordan and we should keep it in mind. In
my view I'd still welcome your contributing participation even if it
must be limited (in general we are having a reasonably limited number
of meetings per year and discussions both at meetings and on list are
pretty focused).
