Hi Beverly,
thanks for mentioning SHiFT here! One minor correction is that SHiFT is being co-organized by a small group of people, most of them from Lisbon.
Most of what SHiFT aims to be, is pretty much summed up here and in the post I've made, and we're counting on opening up a new site pretty soon, there we'll present SHiFT more thoroughly and with a lot more info about it's goals and organization
OK, changed it. Important thing is also the date!
