immediately bowled over by a Google search for "George Oates", check<br>

for a recent bio of George when she was speaking at the Smithsonian.<br>
Two great quotes from that page:<br>
<br>
  * "[Prior to becoming lead of OpenLibrary], she served as the Senior<br>
Program Manager for Flickr, where, she developed the successful Flickr<br>
Commons environment that provided a ground-breaking platform for<br>
cultural heritage organizations to crowdsource and community-build<br>
around their photographic collections."<br>
<br>
  * "She has been appointed a Research Associate for Smithsonian<br>
Institution Libraries in 2011."<br>

She's also a heck of a designer. Maybe she would be interested in<br>
participating in the Hackfest to help us apply some more design<br>
sensibility to the TPAC... :)<br>
