 <li>Participated in Google Summer of Code in which 30 students and mentors participated. They worked on improving f-spot (an application to manage photos), improving anjuta (integrated development environment), improving cheese (webcam application, similar to photobooth), and working on avahi to support LLMNR (which is the Windows technology similar to zeroconf, iirc). See a complete list of projects <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2008/gnome/about.html";>here</a>.</li>
 
 <li>Ran an Accessibility Outreach Program that resulted in improvements in documentation, magification and mouse control through a webcam. In addition, several smaller tasks like bug fixing were accomplished as well. See a complete list of the tasks <a href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/outreach/a11y/tasks/";>here</a>.</li>

 <li>Held several world wide developer conferences to enable developers to collaborate effectively and to educate new users and developers.  In Europe, our volunteer run conference, GUADEC, brought 300 GNOME developers together.  This year we had the first GNOME event in Asia, GNOME.Asia, that was held in October 18-19th in Beijing with 300 Asian attendees. </li>

 <h3>In 2009, we could use your help to accomplish the following:</h3>
 <ul>
 <li>Produce more end user and need focused technology and features through technology specific hackfests. Hackfests are an event where a core team of project developers get together and spend a week in the same place, discussing plans and writing code. They are particularly useful for getting new projects or large features launched (like GTK+ 3.0) or getting a large amount of code written.</li>
-<li>Ensure a free and secure desktop environment for everyone. 
-Continue to provide a neutral, confidential place for our sponsors to discuss their GNOME technology related plans. 
-Organize a usability study focused on GNOME technologies used by all people including children, users in developing nations and people with accessibility needs.</li>

 <li>Have more active dialogs between our sponsor companies and our developers through monthly advisory board meetings. This is one way to bring end user and distribution company needs to GNOME developers.</li>
 <li>Hold a joint GUADEC/Akademy conference, a Free Desktop Summit, in order to encourage collaboration and common specifications.</li>
 <li>Ensure that there is a free and open source stack for mobile devices by working with other mobile groups to define and produce GNOME Mobile.</li>
