-Motion to invite new participants to help with the preparatory stuff for the expo.  Passed.  Will bring it up on Jan. 5th, next IG meeting, and earmark for Jan. 26th?  Want to promote it heavily.  The idea would be to hold an OST on what has to happen between now and the expo, and have people create projects and form project groups around them.
