OK, I will work on getting a booth working for GNOME. I think we have a reason to be there if we want to get more javascript folks. However, we are going to need to get all the materials that fledgling javascript writers would want to know to write for our platform. sri On Fri, Mar 22, 2013

It's good to spend a little time in the booth, and there is some networking to be done from there :) Perhaps we should email the foundations list when it gets a little closer and see if there are others attending who may not be on the marketing list? It's still pretty early for people to know if
