Both those spots are filled now and at least one has jumped into the action already. Also have at least another guy or two on the waiting list for new openings if they come up.
If you know of someone interested, have them register on this message board and then hopefully also post their interest briefly here so we can build a wait list order a bit and hopefully get those prospective GMs also a bit involved in things. Then we can also refer to this list for priority for new members to take first openings by who has posted here first and most responsive to new opening to get teams filled and things running smoothly.
After we go through both leagues running the free agency and upcoming draft scripts, I'll probably start another league or two later this summer (hopefully one for bloggers only and one for mostly new players recruited -- although possibly also some newer players to existing leagues) since should be much less work now with the new setup. Right now the most time involved part is keeping track of the matching announcements and compensation but will try to make that more automated also to just make your choice from your roster page prompt in the future hopefully and transform compensation in most cases automatically with me just doing the odder ones with different compensation agreements, etc. But things should be setup now to hopefully accomodate more of those who would like to participate.
Getting on the wait list here ahead of others interested will be helpful in grabbing a new opportunity when it comes up.
