Greetings everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick update on where things stood with GNOME
being at SCALE 7x.  Jeff Schroeder has once agreed to head up the GNOME
presence at the show.  Jeff and some local GNOME enthusiasts did an
amazing job showcasing GNOME at the show last year.

This wouldn't have went near as well as it did last year without the
quick whit from the other volunteers. I'd like to thank Chris, Eric,
Jordan, Gareth, along with Ken Vandyne + the Foresight team.

There was no way to pull that off without them. Hopefully this time we
can make sure to get the official gnome booth from zana. There was a
disconnect somewhere last year and we were boothless. With the
excellent gnome marketing svgs and kinkos we managed. The "Gnome
Official Desktop of Happy People" flier was a big hit. It lead to a
few snarks asking if KDE4 was the desktop of sad people but I digress.

We are still actively exploring the possibility of having a GNOME Zone
at the show and have been attempting to contact the following projects:
Banshee, Brasero, Cheese, Dia, Ekiga, Epiphany, Evolution, F-Spot,
gedit, GDM, GStreamer, Nautilus, and Tomboy.  However, we currently have
not received any response back from any of these projects.  We would
appreciate any help.

Our call for papers is still available and will be open until the 30th
of November.  If anyone is interested in submitting any proposals please
do so!

Thanks!
Gareth
