LAS GNOME Conference - call for papers committee participation

[Sriram Ramkrishna]

Greetings!

We are working on a new concept conference promoting applications in the
Linux eco-system.  LAS GNOME stands for Libre Application Summit hosted by
the GNOME Foundation.  This is an attempt to put together the great
technologies we've created like xdg-app and OSTree and outreach to
companies and developers,  shepherd a healthy application eco-system, and
create a market channel that is measurable and is viable for developer
compensation.

We have already obtained a city (Porltand, OR) and location (Eliot Center)
and we are partially funded and we hope to be fully funded by sponsors by
end of June.  This will be GNOME's first U.S. based conference, nestled
between GUADEC and Boston Summit.

What we are looking for individuals who would volunteer their time to serve
on a papers committee for LAS GNOME to review papers that fit our theme of
furthering application development using xdg-app, and making GNOME and
GNU/Linux the development platform of choice.

If you are interested in serving on our papers committee please let me know!

There is no communication mechanism with the student provided by
google at this stage. If your discussion with the student is relevant
to the judgement, please leave a comment in the system.

Cheers!

Ah. Just to make sure: Discussions with the students are supposed to be
done out of band, correct?

FWIW, I consider "importing" through browsing with the file browser to
be more important than importing from devices. Eg. opening image files
in Photos through the filemanager should work, and allow importing.

(Both gnome-photos and gnome-music can't be selected as the defaults in
the Details settings panel, which is pretty weird...)
