The GNOME Art Team are planning to get together in a face-to-face
meeting at some point during this year. Most of us are going to GUADEC,
but we have also discussed getting together for a planning and drawing
session (like a weekend or so) somewhere in Europe, as most of us live
there. There are obviously several things high up on the agenda, such as
working better together with the distros and looking into ways to grow
our community (as our work burden - people ratio isn't really optimal at
the moment).
