I totally agree

I agree. We do need some kind of core (person/idea) around which we can 
organize al sorts of activities.

I'd like to help out with getting people together and programming. 
Whereas my programming experience is mostly based around php and 
webdevelopment. To give you some impression of some of the stuff I do: 
I'm the lead developer of Simuze an online/offline Dutch music community 
have a look at http://www.simuze.nl

  What chat channel do
> ppl. hang out in? irc.freenode.net #cc ??? That would be a rockin one.

To be honest...in our case (CC NL) I am the only tech dude at the 
moment. We're working on getting more people onboard. Be it techies or 
other kinds ;). However the irc #cc channel is a good idea. Is something 
like this already alive? If not how can we start out a channel like this?
