That basically means getting the space at MIT and then a budget from the board. Last year we saw an issue with the timing of other GNOME related conferences. This year we have a choice of two dates, Columbus day weekend, October 9th-11th or piggyback the weekend after the Linux Plumbers conference, November 6th-8th. I'm leaning towards keeping Columbus day weekend because it is easier to get rooms, and it reduces confusion by having it at the same time every year. Silently hoping for this option as well, as November is IWT project defense time for PhD students in Belgium, which would make it a Summit-no-go for me and I'd really love to attend. So please put a vote down on October for me, atleast if my vote holds any value :-) Thanks for the effort J5!

Re: Starting the process for this year's Boston Summit
Hi, Le mercredi 19 mai 2010, à 10:25 -0400, John Palmieri a écrit : The reasons for piggybacking the Plumbers conference is that a number of our fellow GNOMies will already be in Boston and we might get a few stragglers from other parts of the Linux stack to stop by and offer their perspective. I lean towards keeping our usual date, but if moving to November can help get more people that we'd want to have at the Summit (because it's easier for companies, from a travel budget perspective), then it's a different story. Do we have any idea how many fellow GNOMies will go to the Plumbers conference but not to Boston Summit, and who?

GNOME Community: I have the pleasure of announcing the GNOME Developing World list. One of the GNOME Foundation's high level goals is to work harder to increase the visibility, promotion and usage of GNOME in the developing world. This mailing list will provide a forum for people with an interest in developing a stronger GNOME presence in the developing world. Topics will likely include ways to reach out and promote GNOME in regions with limited access to technology, solving particular needs in the developing world, and promoting more humanitarian efforts within the GNOME community.
