[Announcements] Sakai QA Director

[Eli Cochran]

Michael,
I've know a couple of amazing QA director folks over the years. I  
don't know if any of them would be interested in either helping you  
think about the position or applying for the position but I could drop  
them a line. One of them is a real sweet-heart, the other is a  
brilliant QA director but a bit erasable. (Ah, it's always a good day  
when you can use the word erasable.)
