I think in fact the people involved, especially Jeff, deserve
to be applauded for letting people know ahead of time, even

To Dan and the rest of GNOME lovers.
Some privacy (not secrecy) has been needed to bring this idea into a
reality. Trust the promoters 5 days more and you will most probably
agree.
Look the topic of the conference. If you are into this topic you
probably know what's going on, or know who will be

CELF Embedded Linux Conference
Sometimes Linux is used alone in embedded systems, without the GNU
