I want to add my welcome to the OKFN Ambassadors (and being the first ones, they are pioneers as well). Our organization is strong because of the community without which we are really of little consequence. So, Jack, Feng, Biao, Prakash, Finnur and Ewan, I wish much stamina, energy and inspiration to you in your work on the frontline of OKFN.
