GNOME annual report 2007
March 10, 2008 7:26 pm gnomeI just ordered a hard copy of the GNOME annual report (PDF) from lulu.com. At €9.05 postage included it’s a little pricy for a 24 page printed document, so I’m expecting top quality. I almost backed out when I saw the final bill, but I figured that a good chunk of that is going to the foundation, so what the hell, I’m a happy guy. Congratulations to Lucas and all the others who made this possible this year. I’m honoured to have been listed in the credits, given that I did so little this year to help.
Important update: I just heard back from Lucas that the reports are being printed at cost at Lulu; so €6 is the cost of printing the thing (€3 delivery on top for Europe), and nothing is going to the foundation. Also, lulu doesn’t cancel orders under any circumstances. Not saying that you shouldn’t buy it, only that you should only do so if you think it’s decent value for money.

Dude, thanks for the promotion! 🙂
One important note: unfortunately, there’s no GNOME Foundation revenue attached to the price. That price is only for the printing service which goes 100% to Lulu.com. I’ll add a note in my blog post to make sure people understand that.
