at one of the recent conventions i went to, there was a nice booth babe who told me that no one who really worked on actual development showed up to work booths. this might have been misinformation as i had expressed some concern for being yelled at by someone who was actually waorking on things .... that was a long sentence for, how nice that the gimp people provided one of their finest developers to be a booth babe at one of these events. and since simon only is rude to me, he is probably one of the better developers to represent gimp <em>out there</em>. such a pity that the people who hosted the gimp developer did not know what they had. > That having said, it would be cool if somebody would present GIMP at the > Systems.
