Want to be release manager for Infusion 1.0?

[Eli Cochran]

Hi,
I would love to do it again. The first time was good, but the second  
time will be even better. I'd like to have a Toronto person  
(Torontian? Torontonian? Torontoite?) to work with me so that we'd  
have both coasts covered.

As I said, it went pretty smoothly last time. I wouldn't want to  
change much, except that I'm going to be pestering folks to check  
build dependencies *way before* release day. That was the thing that  
killed us last time.

Anyone want to pile on?

- Eli
