Haha. I have been introduced before talks as "Diego Escalante from the GENOME project!" (genome in spanish is genoma, which leaves no doubt about it being something genetic) so once or twice I have been apointed as a genetic researcher talking about free software (yes, "wtf!"). There's a chinese fungus named ganoderma, once I was presented as coming from ganom, if I'm ever presented as coming from ganom-derma I'll let everyone know that the "foot" has fungus. Cough, ok, let's move on, we have a desktop to release!. :) _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
