Re: happy birthday GNOME website!

Hi Karen,

considering that we have only about 48 hours, shall we delay the
celebration to "GNOME's month of anniversary" instead of the day? That
way we can get further input from Andreas and get the texts and
materials done.

The keynote video would be cool, but GUADEC team (Juanjo pinged, I
pinged Chema) has not responded.

Another way to frame this would be to link it to the anniversary but
not necessarily make it "because" of it.

Diego
