It is the PIT-SIG, not consortium, which is part of the Python Business Forum. You can read our bylaws here: www.python-in-business.org/about/bylaws (if you care to). We didn't come together for the Purpose of writing softeware together, and currently, aside from the PIT-SIG there are no current SIGs whose function is to produce software. But many members are _already_ producing DSFG software, and we expect to put together teams of PBF members to bid for an win government contracts to produce Open Source Software solutions. When we have anything, we will certainly let you know. Thank you for your interest, Laura Creighton
