Re: Possible article on implementation of GNOME

[Claus Schwarm <c schwarm gmx net>]

Hi, Rajiv!

In contrast to popular belief (well, Dave Neary mostly) I'm just the
release organizer, not the editor-in-chief. That's Jim Hodapp. He's on
the list so I'm sure he'll answer as well.

Google says Jeff Elkner is the guy who wrote "How to Think Like a
Computer Scientist: Learning with Python" and who has a major role in
Edubuntu.

Your idea sounds interesting but I'm afraid that our readers may fail to
see a strong connection between GNOME and Jeff Elkner.

What I would find interesting is 'news from the front'; a short course
into selling GNOME to (local) schools. Not sure if that's the right
interview partner, though.

Cheers,
Claus
