We had thought it strange that no communique was received.

Fair enough.

Without having Jeff's original email. Here is a blurb:

'''
GNOME.conf.au is a casual get together for GNOME lovers to meet with
their favourite hackers and discuss all things GNOMEy. The day will
comprise of talks from GNOME hackers and contributors as well as
possible freeform sessions. Anyone interested in Linux on the
desktop (including KDE users) should come along and check it out;
it'll be rad.
'''

I'll put some content on http://live.gnome.org/Dunedin2006

We only need the single room, and we only need it for the day. Most
importantly, we need the advertising so that attendees know.

Thanks for dealing with this.
