Michael Abrash. That guy gives talks like no other. Works for Valve. And a living legend. That guy and no one else should keynote for us, if we intend to get Valve to acknowledge GNOME at our own annual conference. Am already trying to contact him. This feels so right I don't need no confirmation to do it. ciao Michael And thanks a ton Alexandre. Without our chat today (yesterday?) this wouldn't have become obvious to me. _______________________________________________ guadec-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
