Ah, cool! I hadn't seen it.

There are some obvious people to talk to about the different sections:

Marina for WSOP (and since we already have a press release, that would 
already be a great base for the report article). I'd be interested in 
doing a short interview with Marina about her personal involvement too.

Summer of Code: Daniel Siegel would be a great person to talk to here - 
he's been co-ordinating mentors and GNOME's involvement to great success 
for the last 3 years, and before that he was a mentor in 2008 and a 
student in 2007.

I'd love to get Stormy to write about the process she organised for 
hiring a new executive director - she's a shining counter-example to her 
thesis that people might not "do it again for free" :)

On the Desktop Summit, I was thinking that we could get quotes like you 
did for GNOME 3. But since it's already done once, perhaps twice would 
be too much. Do you think it's better to do an article per hackfest, or 
one overall article, highlighting each one?

What do you think of the idea of the application show-case?

Cheers,
Dave.
