Re: LinuxWorld Expo 2005 .Org Village London

[Thomas Wood <thos gnome org>]

Since there has been no response to this I presume there is no interest 
in organising a GNOME stand for the LinuxWorld Expo in London this year.

If anyone is interested in helping out and is available on either 
October the 5th or 6th (or both) then please reply as soon as possible 
so we can let the organiser know we will be able to host a stand.
