Good catch. So, that generally means:

+ we need to list out what can be demonstrated / talked about
+ we need to hunt around and keystroke in a list of preliminary reading

Come on now. Don't be shy. Introduce your pals to the wondrous world of 
GNOME *right now*.

More than mere morsels. A thing I wish to see each time there is a GNOME 
event but don't get is performance-related debugging of GNOME - do you 
know anyone who can start taking IRC sessions leading up to a bling 
filled foss.in talk ?
