Hi Everyone,

For those of you I met in Budapest, I hope you had a worthwhile trip
and a safe journey back home. It was great to match up faces and
names, to chat, work and drink with so many of you.

I've been on the Launchpad team for around the 3 month mark now, and
something I really want to get more involved with is the Launchpad
blog. I really enjoy reading your posts and learning more about the
different projects everyone is working on, and to find out about all
the achievements, goals and problems that you and the rest of the team
face.

If you're an active blogger, please let me know if I can lend a hand
by helping form a narrative, breaking up an awkward phrase or writing
something highly technical into something more accessible. Even if you
just want a second pair of eyes for a final scan/proof read, I'm here
to help. If you'd prefer to carry on without any input from me, that's
fine too - I don't want to be any kind of blocker to getting posts out
there, I just want to make it clear that I'm available if needed.

If you've never blogged before, get in touch! As your new
'Communications Specialist', writing and editing is one of my primary
skills. I'd like you to feel comfortable enough to come to me with any
ideas you've got for a blog post - however abstract they may be. They
can be rough ideas or bullets that you want bulking up, to a long
draft that you want editing down to size. We do lots of great work in
Launchpad that deserves celebrating. We also have lots of issues that
need fixing - having a blog helps raise awareness and community
involvement, which after all, is what we're all here for.

My Best,

Dan (/danhg)
