That's a fair summary of what the board has discussed, as recently as June. Jonathan Blandford once termed GUADEC as GNOME's mothership, an annual place to meet and recharge batteries. It has played at least four important roles for GNOME and the foundation over the last six years: *Technical *Outreach *Community (Social) *Fundraising Press announcements about the event state: About GUADEC The GNOME User and Developer Europe Conference (GUADEC) is an annual gathering of GNOME developers, enthusiasts and individual, business, education and government users worldwide. It provides a forum for members of the GNOME project to showcase their work and to discuss the future of GNOME development. Housed in a different European country each year, GUADEC is a catalyst for the future development and direction of GNOME. tim _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
