Ok, consider this an official call looking for a Full Image Maintainer. 
:)

There are two parts to this:

1. Finding someone to help with the very short-term task of getting the 
"3.7 Full Assembler" package in shape for the 3.7 release, which needs 
to happen very soon.  We don't have time to add new projects and 
interesting content for 3.7.  (If no one volunteers for this I will 
cobble something simple together for 3.7.)

2. The longer-term maintenance of the Full image/configuration content, 
for 3.8 and beyond.  This is where some person(s) could help with 
coming up with new demo projects and things like that.

Could be a good idea!  Although this sounds like it would be more for 
the longer-term maintenance issue (part 2 above).

Also, I don't want to discourage anyone on the list here from 
volunteering for either part yet.  Speak up if anyone else is 
interested!
