[Mesh] Introduction

[Thomas Dudley]

Hey all!

Just wanted to piggyback on this to introduce myself.

I'm Thomas. I live in SF. My work isn't on the technical side - I've been
working as a management consultant for the past three years and in the Fall
I'll be heading down to Stanford to work on a PhD in organizational
behavior. Outside of work I've been volunteering on the board of a local
non-profit where I've learned a lot about fundraising methods for small
organizations. I think this is an awesome project and I'm excited to help
out in any way I can - either through sharing business/non-profit
experiences, helping to set up a node (anyone in PA? looks pretty far from
the current center of mass), fundraising, mundane tasks, basically anything
that's useful.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it to a meet up yet - I'm going
to do my best to make that happen soon but unfortunately the next few weeks
look pretty busy for me.

Nice to meet you!

Thomas
