I created a Foundation blog on blogo, but only the other day, so I figured I should wait for the new Board to come in to bless it as an official voice of the Foundation. I think this would be really cool, and not only because the manually updated news feed on foundation.gnome.org is so boring (it really only contains major announcements anyway). :-) - Jeff -- GNOME.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://live.gnome.org/Melbourne2008 "PHP, when it first came out, didn't really have any merits, and many claim it still doesn't, but it filled a void where a simple tool to perform a simple task was needed." - Rasmus Lerdorf _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
