 Is this really how you wanted to announce to the foundation membership
 that you've been working on co-hosting GUADEC  aKademy?

No further proof needed...

The Reply-To header was actually set to your own address, not to that of the

[ Dave points out that the offending Reply-To was of course on the announce
list email. While entirely intentional, and more effective than setting the
Mail-Followup-To header, it certainly engages the no-opt-out damage pointed
out in 'Reply-To Considered Harmful'. Anyone moderating a GNOME announce
list will know, however, that even that doesn't stop people from replying to
the announcement mailing lists. ;-) ]

 In any case, no harm done. And yay! the board's been talking to KDE eV
 about co-hosting aKademy and GUADEC!

This is no news to anyone who's been following us closely.  Anyway,
coming out soon.

 Cheers,
 Dave.
