GNOME 2.5 is totally going to be demoable by then. I've recently ported
over the Sun Java Desktop System to unstable 2.5.1 and apart from a few
random Nautilus crashes, it's looking really sweet. We'll almost be in
beta by then, so I expect it to be pretty stable.

Do you guys not think that it would be worth submitting 1 or 2 speaker
tracks? There are some pretty big deployments happening with GNOME at
the moment, which is ideal material to present at both the Enterprise
and Social tracks.
