Hey all, No, not a crazy-official GNOME Australia organisation or anything... it's a new mailing list for GNOMEtastic people in Australia, for advocacy, chitchat and event planning. Stuff like that. :-) Join up!
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-au-list One of the important things that should be on every Aussie GNOME lover's radar is one of this year's linux.conf.au mini-confs: GNOME.conf.au. Already we have: Glynn Foster - Irish man living in New Zealand who hacks on GNOME at Sun. Before his indentity crisis, you may have known him as "The Face of Sun Microsystems" [1]. Keith Packard - He wears a hat like Indiana Jones, and when he's not cracking whip, his weapon of choice is X! Keith will be presenting his latest additions to the Free Desktop arsenal. James Henstridge - Famed Aussie hacker working on pygtk and friends. Not afraid of snakes, James brings the GNOME hacking love to everybody. Havoc Pennington - The current reincarnation of GNOME's spiritual leader. Kinda like the Dalai Lama, only he wears sunglasses and dresses like a rock star. Watch out Adelaide hotel rooms, THE TV IS HIS! Martin Sevior - He lives in Melbourne. He hacks on Abiword. He contributes to GNOME Office. He is a physicist. But despite all of these things, he has retained has his SANITY. Or bits of it. He is THAT STRONG. Jeff Waugh - Some dude who herds cats and steals dreams from small children. Or that's what he'd *like* you to think. See the web page for what they'll be talking about and to keep up to date with the crazy GNOME.conf.au action! Please forward this on to your LUG list if you feel it's appropriate. If it's not, tell me, and I can write it in Swahili or something. http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/2004/gnome.conf.au/ Thanks, - Jeff [1] http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/random/face-of-sun.jpg -- Come to gnome.conf.au 2004! http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/2004/gnome.conf.au/ "The aim of the release process is to finish software, not to develop it..." - Havoc Pennington -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
