I have already though about it, but there are far too many things now,
so I cannot be sure if I'll make it there. Nevertheless, I am hoping I
will find some time (and money :) to get there, and that Norway
Embassy won't consider me a threat, and they'll issue me a visa.

I'll start asking around about relevant data, and I would certainly
like to hear if anyone else from GTP is planning on coming (except
Christian, Arafat).

I first noticed (in late December 2003) that the submission deadline
was February 1st, but it seems to have been moved later on. So, it's
even longer than what I first saw ;)

Though, I don't plan on submitting any papers, since I am not that
involved in Gnome as I might wish I am -- if I do manage to get there
I'll just join the discussions and pick every developer now and then
with some i18n related question, and some other stuff as well :)

Cheers,
