Let's make this the next event we plan then - maybe an introduction to Gnome 
development, i.e. how to set up CVS, jhbuild, etc. ? Probably would be good to 
focus on one application and pick out a few bugs to chew on ahead of time.

One idea I also had for a future event, which maybe is kind of silly but is the 
kind of thing I love to do - We could do a Gnome Women "theme", e.g., make a 
wallpaper and mocks for a gdm splash, gdm theme, metacity theme, maybe a gtk 
pixmap theme, etc., and have those prepared ahead of time, and then sit down and 
go through the process of writing a gdm theme, gathering icons & wallpaper and 
packaging them together into a gnome theme, etc. (ok these might be a session 
each ;-) ), and then at the end we'd have a cool Gnome-Women desktop theme for 
Gnome that we could submit to art.gnome.org. Just an idea. :)
