Well, unfortunately I have some no-so-good news. I'm starting a new position in June and, because it requires 50% travel, it is unlikely that I will able to travel anywhere but to job sites this year. For now, don't count me in, but I will still try my best to make it once I know more details.
I've been with GNUstep for almost a decade, now, and meeting some of you has always been a goal. I apologize for the less than ideal news, but it is what it is.
