A couple of late minute sponsors have been confirmed recently. Red Hat, Mandriva and AMD have all been confirmed as Silver level sponsors. Mandriva are sponsoring the Guadec USB keys which will contain lots of goodies from all the sponsors as well has having a bootable version of Mandriva installed. They will also contain the conference brochure and other useful information. With a good gigabyte or so worth of portable storage, they should be useful after the conference too.

These extra three sponsors bring the number of total sponsors to an amazing seventeen this year! Our thanks go out to all the companies who have shown their support for Guadec. Without the support of these organisations, Guadec certainly wouldn’t be possible. We look forward to seeing them all in July.
And of course, if you haven’t done so already, please remember to register before the 24th June.
Well, there goes my carefully planned announcement schedule =)
oh well, as they say, the best-laid plans never survive first contact with the enemy^H^H^H^H^H organizers…:D
Nice one Mandrake, get those Gnome developers using KDE for a while and see if people start using ice cream (dcc) or borrowing any other good idea from KDE.
Dammit I wish I’d been more organised, less impovrished, and actually doing more open source development that I could have gone to GUADEC. 🙁
@Alan: I have a hunch that the usb-stick distro will be a customized GNOME one. The GNOME version bundled with Mandriva is second to none…
