Re: Andrea Veri - GNOME's new part-time sysadmin hire!

[Sriram Ramkrishna <sri ramkrishna me>]

Without Andrea, we would have had a hard time with a lot of the GSOC and Women's outreach programs.  For instance the web projects we had in cleaning up the web infrastructure wouldn't have happened without Andrea who has spent a lot of his free time working on this stuff.

Great point, Luis! I should note that this is made possible by both our
individual Friends of GNOME sponsors and our corporate supporters. There's
tons of work to be done, which I hope will help us in the coming years!
