Perhaps not the board, but I think the idea of short blog-sized 
interviews going out weekly is a great idea. We need a list of 
interviewees and volunteer interviewers, and someone watching out for 
people we can add to the list/bump to the top as current news requires.

I'm afraid not! That list was put together originally in 2006, partially 
updated in 2008, and as Juanjo said, he updated details on 1 or 2 
deployments this year. But we're lacking a good way to find out about 
reference deployments of GNOME because a lot of them are Red Hat 
Enterprise deployments or Suse Linux. We've actually had more success 
getting references from Suse and Ubuntu than from Red Hat for some 
reason. Not sure why that is.

I don't think we've ever had stickers to sell, but we often print out 
sticker sheets for conferences. Perhaps someone from gnome-fr or GNOME 
can send you some, if we have an address.

May I ask who "we" is?

Cheers,
Dave.
