I'm interested in joining as an observer, with the intention of joining the WG if it pans outs.
Some background — Born and raised in Israel, living in Boston for the last 2.5 years. I've been a techie for as far as I can remember, but only got into software while studying CS in Tel Aviv University 18 years ago.
After uni I worked for 3.5 year in a growing startup that got from 20 people to 150 during my tenure. In my last 2 years there I was team-leader/scrum-master and tech evangelist, but my passion was in conflict-resolution, and improving group dynamics.
I then opened my own startup/software-shop which was most of all a school of hard-knocks. I had to learn how to deal with myself, my life-partner, my business-partner, clients, and later 25 employees. During that time I was an ad-hoc evangelist for meetup culture in TLV, hosting two groups: Alphageeks and JSTLV.
After the business wound down, I moved to the US following my wife who started a postdoc in Biology. I took this opportunity for a hiatus from hardcore software development, and dabbled in consulting and computational biology.
I have been back on "the OSS scene" in the last several months focusing my energy on node core. I found I'm gravitating again towards group dynamics, and interacting with "the community", both the regulars and the occasional participant. I'm also fascinated with team/team interactions, and IMHO improving those could be a major power-multiplier for nodejs.org as a whole (Upstream teams such as ECMA, V8, chakra, etc. As well as downstream teams such as Electron, IDE vendors, 3rd party module developers, npm, and JS user organizations for example node.js.il)

Hello all,
