<small>Hi speech group,<br>
<br>
I have read about the efforts and plans for the Open Speech
Initiative and would like to join the initiative.<br>
I am a computational linguist with focus on speech technologies.<br>
So if some help is wanted, I would like to work on the project.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
