Re: GNOME groups in USA
Good call Quim. Anyone listening in on the marketing list in the Seattle area? I would like to start a Pacific Northwest Gnome group. Not that I have the time, but if I could find an equally motivated partner, I bet we could pull it off. We used to have a Mono Seattle group. Cheers, Eitan.

Lucky me I'm not a US citizen, otherwise I would be ashamed for being reminded by Europeans, Oceanians and even Asians living in Canada about this. :) :) :) Alright, coordinating a nation-wide group migh be too complex but what about articulating some activity around cities/states? Boston had the ingredients at some point, what is the status now? Not that there are not GNOME hackers in San Francisco Bay Area. What would be next, Oregon? Where else can one find 3 GNOMErs nearby in the US?

Re: GNOME groups in USA
Oregon is somewhat weak. We have a strong free software community but very weak in desktop. Maybe 3 of us possibly. Much as I would like to think that I'm a tour de force by myself... I think we have maybe a couple more up here in Seattle, so like I said, maybe a Pacific NW group?
