Hey, I mentioned this to Walter on IRC the other day, but I'd very much like to participate in anything telepathy based, especially, maybe moving to mission control 5 and letting go of the admittedly antiquated sugar presence now, I do need some guidance though, as I am by no means a python guru, though I've really digested telepathy and have a pretty good feeling for the dbus bindings it has, as well as the way D-tubes work. I didnt realise the power of having basically networked dbus until I really got the d-tubes. It even lends a great deal of power to things like LTSP, by being able to remotely control rudimentary elements that are otherwise quite difficult (remote volume control, rmote power off, remote switch users, remote control of many kinds... I could imagine almost a remote dashboard... much like italc, but with more power..... and able to do things I havent even thought about yet.... I know its exciting stuff though.... I dont thnink I'll be able to make it to Bolzano, but I understand there will be a strong remote presences... so I'd be happy to help out in that area,
