Did you post it yet?
I didn't see anything weird in it. Just do it if you haven't!

Oh, I thought I posted it on this mailing list..
Here it is again:
Returned from GUADEC and again it was a wonderful time. Big kudos to
the organizing team putting together a great conference! For me to
meet everyone is such a adrenaline rush, and I always feel so pumped
when I come back.
Speaking of conferences, I spent a lot of time volunteering to
understand the mechanics of running a local conference since you know,
I have one of my own that is coming up in a few short weeks. Libre
Application Summit presented by GNOME or LAS GNOME conference.
To say that starting a new conference with a new purpose is hard is an
understatement. It is incredibly difficult to put a formal conference
together. We did West Coast Summit for two years to make sure that
this conference idea works. Huge kudos to openSUSE for giving the
initial funding for this conference and taking a chance on my idea and
vision of where I wanted to take this conference. I will say the same
for the board as well for enthusiastically embracing LAS GNOME and the
concepts behind it.
We live in a world of changing demographics and as a project we need
to adapt to them. LAS GNOME is an attempt to show the world that
desktops matter in this new world of containers, cloud, and consumer
devices. No longer will we placidly write software and release them,
but instead we are going to lead. With nearly 20 years of experience
writing desktop software and plumbing, we are at parity with Windows
and OSX.
LAS GNOME has two main goals - 1) Outreach to companies, government,
and organizations and build relationships with them and have them
guide our efforts in building an application market based on the Linux
kernel. 2) Outreach internally to the kernel, userspace maintainers,
and existing application organizations like Mozilla and Open Document
Foundation and help improve the application story by improving the OS
and creating the kind of conditions that would create a measurable
application market for devices running the Linux kernel.
Here is the thing - people, companies and organizations should know
about desktop projects. We are the user space engineers of the Linux
operating system. KDE created khtml which turned into WebKit and is
now Blink and now one of the most popular webapp framework today.
GNOME's influence can be seen in dbus, systemd, logind, gstreamer,
pulseaudio and various other core pieces of userspace. See
http://www.gnome.org/technologies. Moving forward, flatpak is here and
that too will have influence on how we think of applications today.
The fact of the matter is, anything that gets put forth on a desktop
project is going to be in every Linux based operating system out
there. Nobody has more clout than we (desktop projects) do in what
goes into a distribution. Do not underestimate our worth.
LAS GNOME will be in Portland, Oregon - Sept 19-23rd at the Eliot
Center. The schedule is finalized except some tweaks here and there
and now working on some great BoFs on open source marketing, linux
graphics drivers, OpenQA/OBS, flatpak enabling/workshop, and hopefully
a string of others on in the plans. Companies and individuals can
expect a week of being able to talk with everyone across the Linux
eco-system and understand how to get started in a single place.
I also want to thank everyone who have been working so hard on this
conference. We've overcome so many obstacles and continue to overcome
them as they arrive.
Finally, I want to thank the Foundation for sponsoring me to GUADEC
and allowing me to network with my community about LAS GNOME.
