      - US visa.  It's a real issue.  It's not a predictable and fast
    process like most European countries are.  It literally takes months to
    get a US visa for those of us that need one.  And many people going to
    GUADEC need one.

I think it would be a good thing for GNOME to make a prominent
statement about this.  Every organization running an event should
think about this, but I suspect most of them don't.  The more we
spread the word, the more they will pay attention.  Eventually the
Bush Regime may feel the pressure.
