Heya, is the [email protected] email working? I got a bounce from you dave. Is gnome foundation going to hold funds again? Should I talk with stormy about this or can you do?
Also, should we setup our own [email protected] email to handle emails? Yes, good idea on the pitch...I think the website can suffice for seeking funding, then can make a 1 page pdf or something printable.... thx Jon On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 2:38 AM, Dave Neary <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Nathan Willis wrote: >> One, a press release is definitely in order for this.
