Two more items:  Is anyone interested in speaking about GNOME at 
http://oss2011.org/ the 7th International Conference on Open Source 
Systems, 6-7 October 2011 in Salvador, BA, Brazil?  Their Call for 
Papers is open.

And I wanted to bring people's attention to some GNOME fundraising ideas 
that got developed last year, including some things to do at conferences:

Is this something you're interested in?  As Ambassadors, would you be 
interested in fundraising along with public speaking and writing?
