Just a note... I can probably find some good space at the University of 
Toronto (Canada) if it was ever required. It is generally easier for 
folks in some countries (like China, and Russia) to get visas to come 
here, and it is a cheap flight for Bostonians.  There is a Red Hat 
office here, not sure about other GNOMEy elements.
