In the past, I would have agreed, but having just returned from OSCON in the
USA, and seen the massive shift in OS X vs. Ubuntu there, I think it would
have made a lot of sense to have a GNOME presence. EuroOSCON is different
again in that it has a much more European slant - there are a lot more Linux
users in the crowd than at OSCON in the USA. I think it would be worthwhile
showing off what we're doing at EuroOSCON.

I have a speaking slot at the event (about Ubuntu community building), and
it's likely that Canonical will support my travel and accomodation. I'd be
happy to help anyone doing GNOME pimping at EuroOSCON.
