Change in affiliation

hi all;

as it appeared on Planet GNOME[0] and on my personal
microblogging[1][2], I am no longer affiliated with Intel.

starting on June 25, my new affiliation will be the Mozilla Foundation.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.

Call for GUADEC 2013 proposals

We announced this earlier this week on gnome.org - I hope you consider
submitting a proposal!
http://www.gnome.org/news/2012/06/call-for-guadec-2013-proposals/

Call for GUADEC 2013 Proposals

The GNOME Foundation invites proposals to host GUADEC 2013. GUADEC is the
biggest gathering of GNOME users and developers and includes a three-day
conference, the annual general meeting of the members of the GNOME
Foundation, and a week of coding, meeting, and discussion. Those who would
like to host the next GUADEC are hereby invited to write a formal proposal
to the board of the GNOME Foundation at board-list <at> gnome.org. Deadline for
the proposals is July 20, 2012 and bidders are invited to present in
person to the board of directors at this year's GUADEC on July 24 or on
another day during the conference.

Do you think your city would be a great place for GUADEC? Key criteria for
a large GNOME event like GUADEC are:

* Cost and ease of travel from major European cities and airline hubs
* Local GNOME community with strong leadership and support for hosting the
conference
* Venue, cheap housing and nice hotels, and the distance between them
* The budget for infrastructure and facilities required to hold the
conference
* The availability of restaurants or the organization of catering on-site,
cost of food and drinks
* Spaces for "hallway" tracks and social activities
* Local industry and government support
