Can’t Stay For Long. Just Turn Around, And I’m Gone Again.

We kicked off the next round of GUADEC with a pretty awesome meeting last night. The team seem like an excellent and enthusiastic group of people and I’m pretty psyched about GUADEC heading there next year. It’s already shaping up as an excellent conference. The only trouble is that the meetings are likely to take place at 5am my time which probably means that I won’t be attending too many, but it really seems like they have a good solid idea of what needs to be done, and have already got most of the infrastructure in place already! If you have any specific complaints about GUADEC last year, or suggestions that you’d like to throw into the fray, now would be a pretty good time to email guadec-list@gnome.org. Stay tuned for an announcement soon!

So, after posting my ‘Joining GNOME’ plea for help I got a grand total of zero patches back [although I did get some grammar and spelling help from Erwann and Eric, and some comments from Graham]. I guess everyone is busy off doing something entirely more attractive. It’s kinda funny…months ago hundreds of people were complaining to Jeff that the current website was crap, and that he should get his arse into gear and put up *whatever* he had at the time. Now that he’s finally gotten something up, something that everyone can easily work to, I’ve seen a pretty small amount of people actually contributing back content. It’s all terribly sad and pathetic. Graphics and layout can’t make a good website on their own. We need content. WHERE IS THE LOVE?

I went for a 12km run down to Hagley Park and back. I think it almost killed me. Definitely need to improve on my general level of fitness over the coming weeks.
