Thank you kindly.  We appreciate it!  I've no good way of doing an automated
system for sourceforge.  For Apache it's rather easy with the mentioned
email verification, but anyone can get a sourceforge account.  Only apache
committers can get an apache account.  That being said there are over 700
committers to Apache as a whole and many of them work for IBM and other
large companies.  I'd suggest select a limited set of projects to which you
feel gratitude, grab the committers's names and put them on a list.  Not
everyone conducts surveys, of course, so understand some folks may not take
you up on it.  Just my suggestion.

For me, your spirited testimonial is thanks enough.  It makes it easier to
make a case for POI when folks show that the path has been successfully
taken by others.  Thanks again!

-Andy
