Yup, I know, my apologies. I originally had this as a hand-picked
meetup of specific people from specific companies, but quite a few
other GNOME people were interested too. I'm also working with about 7
calendars so we were really limited on possible dates. Until 3 days
ago everyone was happy to self-fund travel and hotel so it wasn't
super important. If the lateness makes it a total *no* from the
foundation then let me know and we can ask around for other donations.

I actually wanted to keep things small to avoid needing a larger venue
and so we actually got stuff done. In my experience the larger the
hackfest the less actually gets done. I've got a soft limit of 10,
with 8 places already taken, so I don't think I can make this a huge
thing.

Thanks. I can copy the participants from the doc to the wiki if it helps.
