We can add below sections to this page: Introduction about GUADEC Introduction about GUADEC committee Committee members What committee members are working on Useful Documents Meeting Minutes Other... I just update the wiki and create Committee members wikihttp://live.gnome.org/GUADEC/CommitteeMembersto build a core team from scratch. We can add more members once they step in and join us.
