The conference was a lot of fun and we got to meet a lot of interesting people as they came to say “Hi” at our booth. I found that a large percentage of the conference attendees were “Fans of GNOME”, and we even took some pictures with many of them.

Will is one of the conference organizers.

As you can see, the conference was a lot of fun and I had a great time being a part of GNOME for the weekend. Since that time I have started contributing to GNOME a bit more. I’m still trying to find just the right place, but I’ve been meeting a lot of new people and learning about a lot of the exciting things coming up for GNOME 3.0! There are some exciting things coming up, and there is a lot of work to be done. I know we can make it all happen with your help.

If you are a “Fan of GNOME” I invite you to become an official “Friend of GNOME” by contributing to the GNOME foundation. You can find out more at the “Become a Friend of GNOME” website. You can donate any amount, and all donations are very much appreciated. Together we can make GNOME do great things! Thank you.
