Re: Private Foundation-List Petition for referendum
Hi all, 2009/12/14 Stormy Peters stormy.pet...@gmail.com: Are there people on this list that are not GNOME Foundation members? If so, can you speak up? It would be good for everyone to know why you subscribe to foundation-list and the value you see in it. I am not a GNOME Foundation member, but was a WSOP'06 participant. It's a good way to keep myself updated on the latest trend/news/thoughts in free software by subscribing to this mailing list.

Re: Call for hosts for GUADEC 2009
Hi all, Whistler should work, yeah. I hear there's going to be a huge Firefox summit in Whistler later this Summer. I may be attending, in which case I'll check out the place. *BUT*, we already have Boston Summit scheduled for October in Boston. Having another one just a few months later doesn't make much sense. So, we seem to be talking about '10. Whistler in 2010 would not work. At least it is going to be extremely expensive to go because Winter Olympic Games will be in Whistler. As Luis said, don't get too excited about Whistler. :( Clare ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
Re: Call for hosts for GUADEC 2009
Amsterdam Frankfurt Paris Brussels Geneva Milan All major cities, major travel hubs in Europe, easy to get to, with many university options. Anyone in any of these places feel tempted? Except Brussels, these cities have a good chance to be considered by the KDE community. Checking aKademy's website, aKademy has been taken place in Ireland, Scotland, Czech Republic, Spain and Germany in the past. aKademy 2008 will be in Belgium. Not many people would like to repeat cities unless there is a very good reason. Major cities in Europe are easily accessible from North America, too. Some reasonably-priced direct flight options exist. (Of course, it would not be as cheap as flying ryanair...)

Re: Call for hosts for GUADEC 2009
As for me, the reason not pushing for Canada is that a GNOME community in Canada is surprisingly non-existent. Sure, there's you, me, and desrt. But that's pretty much it. Is there anyone from Western Canada? You, me, desrt and Hub are living in the Eastern part of the country. I agree with you, Behdad. There is no point in pushing for Canada. Other than the size of the community, another important factor is the weather. The winter here would be too shocking for a lot of people. (7-feet snowbank, -25C in the night, 10cm of new snow in a day ... just to name a few. But hey, great for skiing, snowboarding or skating!) Where in the world with the highest concentration of GNOME and KDE community? This thread has so far been considering the GNOME community only. Just my 2 cents.
