+****************************
+Introducing the CWL advisors
+****************************
+
+Recently I created a private mailing list for discussion of sensitive matters
+relating to the CWL project. Only topics not appropriate for the public mailing
+list are discussed here, otherwise some other public medium should be used. So
+far only one topic has been discussed: options for my post-UC Davis employment.
+
+The initial members of the CWL advisors group are, in alphabetical order:
+
+- Peter Amstutz, Curoverse Inc. / Arvados
+- John Chilton, Pennsylvania State University / Galaxy Project
+- Michael Crusoe, Common Workflow Language
+- Brandi Davis Dusenbery, Seven Bridges
+- Carole Goble, The University of Manchester / Taverna / ResearchObject.org /
+  Wf4ever et cetera
+- Oliver Hofmann, Wolfson Wohl Cancer Research Centre / bcbio-nextgen
+- Gaurav Kaushik, Seven Bridges

+*************************************
+Renewal of support from Seven Bridges
+*************************************
+
+
+I am happy to announce that Seven Bridges has renewed their support of my work
+as the Community Engineer for the Common Workflow Language project through the
+end of March 2017. Additionally, I am no longer working for the University of
+California, Davis but am now an independent researcher. Big thanks go to my
+now-previous boss, C. Titus Brown, for an incredible, life-changing three
+years as a Research Software Enginner first at Michigan State University and
+then at the University of California, Davis.
+
+While it wasn't my original plan to go "solo" it does allows the money to
+stretch further. It also simplifies life as I am a "trailing" spouse for at
+least another year (next stop: back to Romania in August!) My husband and I are
+very excited about, and only slightly horrified at, not knowing which continent
+we will be based out of in 2017 :-)
