Just wanted to say I'm glad that there seems to be no
opposition/criticism of these core issues. The call for content for the
Desktop Summit will open in February, and hopefully we will be able to
start announcing sponsors and keynote speakers very soon.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Berlin!

Cheers,
Dave.
