Re: Software Freedom Day on the 18th November, 2006

[Dave Neary <dneary free fr>]

Hi,

Of course we're aware of NUI (the Reverend is well read around here),
but it is the tenuousness of the link with GNOME which bothers me. I am
sue that this will bother me less over time, and certainly if there are
gnome-fr members coming to the meetings to give presentations, we'll be
happy to reconsider (have you considered joining gnome-fr?).

But for the moment, I'm not sure what you will do with the computers if
we send them, and this doesn't seem in line with the mission we
envisaged when creating the box, so I prefer "wait and see".

Cheers,
Dave.
