I’ve just submitted my talk about colord to LGM 2011 in Montreal. I’m hoping I can get some kind of sponsorship, as talking at LGM would be really great.
I’m hopefully presenting at the Open Printing Summit about the same topic too. Exciting times!

Will it be GNOME only or is it implementable in other DE’s?
It’s desktop neutral. See http://colord.hughsie.com/faq.html#gcm for details. Alex Fiestas has told me he plans to write a KDE policy daemon for colord in time for 4.7.
That’s good to know that we all will benefit from this no matter what DE we choose. It is the first time i have heard of colord and i need to read more about that. Thank you for your awesome work!
Awesome stuff! Horrible project name though. :)
