Posses are a great way for DFs to get involved in running the df movement without committing to endless piles of work. what it involves is little bits of work every so often, doing the odd job here and a some reading there and that general sort of thing. The posse can also offer ideas to committee that they think would be really great . Its nothing major and the job is open to all the posse so you wont be alone it is just a great way to help DFs and get involved.
