When news came about that the Foundation wanted to replace the EU Events Box, Litl contacted us to let us know that they would give us a Litl Webbook to showcase at conferences and expos.
A Litl Webbook
The webbook uses much of the same technology as GNOME 3 will, such as gobject-introspection, Clutter, and Javascript, so will be a good showcase of GNOME technologies.
The machine will make its way to the Events Box very shortly, so watch out for it at upcoming GNOME events.
You might remember that the EU Events Box went missing a couple of months ago. While we’re still working on getting that box back from the nice folks at UPS, the EU conference scene was left without a GNOME presence because of the lack of material to present to visitors.

But not anymore! The nice people at Canonical helped the GNOME Foundation out, and purchased a new Events Box in time for this year’s FOSDEM.
The box contains:
I will also note that the box itself is nearly as expensive as the more expensive items inside it. Let me show you some nice pictures of the kit purchased for us.

Upside down sticker, huh.
Thanks again to Canonical for stepping up to the plate, and giving us a way to present GNOME 3 to our users.
Howdy fellow GNOMErs!
I’d like to invite you all to join us once again for another GNOME Foundation IRC Meeting!
When: Wednesday, February 23rd, from 14:00 to 15:00 UTC (your local time)

Foundation IRC meetings are just that, meetings held on #foundation in irc.gimp.org to discuss current matters related to the GNOME Foundation. Any GNOME Foundation member or non member are welcome. As long as you contribute positively to the discussion you are welcome.
The meeting is moderated by Board members that are present, and they will guide the discussion through all the Agenda topics. Everyone can comment and speak at any time, just remember to be respectful and concise so it’s easy for everyone to follow the discussion.
Tthis is a great opportunity to discuss the topics you care about, or to get more information from the Board if you think we’re not communicating enough on some topics 😉 The agenda of the meeting is really up to you!
