Sometimes the apparences are wrong.
Evolution just shows me the mailer along with the From, To and Subject
headers. I don't dig in headers of random people's mail.
Your subject + mailer-agent just caught my eye.

 Well played, Xav. Well played.

Apparently you were waiting for it. I'm happy if I've been useful to
you. You're welcome.

I find it quite amusing that you're using a Microsoft client on an Apple
pc to defend your GNOME candidacy.
Kudos for your sense of humor (or is it just plain provocation ?).

 I disrespect people who claim that this last survey has intentional

Giving one definition of a word, then asking if someone else's sentence
containing that word is true is at best partial.
Feel free to disrespect me.

 Speaking up.
 
 I'm currently one of the main organisers for GUADEC 2010, and as such
 find it informative to keep up to speed with what moves the foundation. 
 
 So if you decide to make this a private list, i hope an exception can be
 made for non-foundation members such as me who have a very valid excuse
 to be on the list.. Or at least share what's going on within the
 foundation on a regular and easily accesible manner.

Speaking up,

there's a GNOME microcosm you have to follow closely enough if you want
to understand what happens on more general media like Planet GNOME. And
those open discussions are sometimes very interesting to follow.
I'm a nearly read-only Foundation-List subscriber, and intend to stay
that way.

Wow .. implying Alan Cox isn't a good contributor to the community
sounds weird.

 Less minor nitpick: please remove announce lists from the CC list when
 replying to an announcement. Thanks.

Sorry, I messed with the reply buttons.

 What did you think of the content, though?

Personnally it's been a while since I worked in the embedded linux
world. That announcement makes me want to try again :)
On a more general front very nice job - to whoever was in charge of
this. I hope we'll see plenty of nice gadgets soon.
