Dear Fluid, I am Jess.

[Jutta Treviranus]

Welcome Jess!
Here is a perfect example of why Jess is a critically important 
addition to the Fluid Team. I had prepared a welcoming, introductory 
email for this list but was distracted by an overwhelming number of 
crisis and deadlines that it sat in my outbox waiting for some 
remaining facts I wanted to add.

Thank you Jess for introducing yourself :-)

Here is my belated introduction:

I am elated and excited to introduce Fluid's Project Manager, Jess 
Mitchell. Jess comes with an incredibly rich and relevant background 
in managing large complex distributed projects. She is very familiar 
with the academic environment, the schools engaged in Fluid and the 
open source and community source development process. Until recently 
Jess was the Innovative Projects Manager at Duke University and 
managed among many innovative projects the Duke Digital Initiative.

Jess's home of operations will be Boston but she will be visiting the 
Fluid partners on a regular basis beginning with a one week visit to 
Toronto on March 12th.

One of Jess's first tasks is to look at how we communicate in the 
community and to the outside world through our Website and other 
mechanisms.

She will be working very closely with Colin to transition many of the 
additional responsibilities he has so ably taken on over the past 
year.

I can't exaggerate how happy I am to have Jess on board.

Jutta
