It would be great if we could have a small "official" release at the CeBIT (having someone from the release team and the foundation at CeBIT and sending off the release mails, maybe giving away press releases etc.).

Re: Minor comments about the release notes draft
Hello, another minor problem I found, about the panel you can read: "The GNOME Panel can be seen at the top and bottom of your screen in most distributions. It has some small but helpful improvements in GNOME 2.20. For instance, the Window List applet no longer resizes its buttons whenever the length of window titles change. For instance, this avoids annoying resizes when changing tabs in your web browser. And the Window Selector applet now sorts its drop-down list by workspace." Can we remove the second "For instance"? It has no use there in my opinion. Disclaimer: maybe my grammar is not that good or I'm misreading.

Unfortunately, it's probably too late to fix those things (except for the images) since the release notes are string frozen too... I guess we can create an english translation (as usual) and put the fixes there, add comment for translators and send a mail to gnome-i18n so that all new translations have the fixes too.

SCALE 6x - Call for dotORG Exhibitors
The So Cal Linux Expo is proud to announce the sixth Annual Southern California Linux Expo scheduled for February 9th - 10th, 2008 at the Westin Hotel near the Los Angeles International Airport. Wide spread acceptance and encouragement for the user community has established SCALE as a premiere conference in the Southern California region. Continuing our efforts to promote open source, we invite you to share your work on Free and Open Source projects with the rest of the community as well as exchange ideas with some leading experts in these fields. Details about previous editions of SCALE can be found at http://www.socallinuxexpo.org The proposals should be submitted in the form of a 1-page extended abstract comprising: 1. Name of group or open source project. 2. A group logo and contact information including name and email address. (logo needed for publishing on the website) 3. What will be shown? A list or a brief description of the main points to be presented should be submitted. Please include enough detail that will enable the committee to evaluate the proposal. 4. Describe how your participation will benefit both the Southern California Linux Expo and the attendees. Submission formats in txt and pdf will be accepted. Exhibitors will be given an 8'x10' booth in the SCALE exhibit hall which will include one 6 foot table, two chairs, one network drop and one 500 watt electrical outlet. As we are attempting to increase open source awareness it is highly desirable that demonstrations be shown using free and open source software.
