Yeah, I suck there.  I haven't had time due to a really busy workload.
Moving to a new job hasn't helped either.  I was doing an upgrade to F17
and it seems I still have all the downloaded stuff to move it to w.g.o..
it's probably about 20 minutes of work.

Hi Emily,

This was for teh annual report - it went on the ideas page, at least, 
and I claimed it, so I believe it should still be in the annual report plan.


I'll happily forward everything on.

Cheers,
Dave.

Hey Dave,

Before we choose, why don't we go over what you have, and decide which
would be better/more practical at this point. I'd suggest either
publishing what you have on the wiki or putting it in a google doc. Or
you can simply send me what you have - whichever you prefer - and I/we
can sort through it and see what we think would be best. If it ends up
being too much work to do the magazine type feature you imagined for the
annual report, perhaps another option would be to publish it as a
special feature on gnome.org <http://gnome.org>.

GNOME Journal has unfortunately floundered once again - I'm not entirely
sure if it was ever updated to wordpress on gnome's servers, and I've
never received any articles for it from anyone else :( At this point,
I'm not sure a separate journal is practical, and lean more towards
simply publishing material on gnome.org <http://gnome.org> as it becomes

Hi all,

Yes, I suck.

Way back in (so long ago I don't even remember which month) I
interviewedd Marina about herself, her history in GNOME, her plans
for WSOP and more. It was a great interview, and she put lots of
time and effort into answering my questions, we did an IRC follow-up
that added lots of colour to it, and my plan was to take all that
material and do a really nice magazine-feature type interview,
rather than just Q&A.

Unfortunately, I never got around to it.

So, to prevent myself from being a road-block to having the
interview published in the annual report, I will remove myself from
the process. We have a few options:
* Print the Q&A which Marina answered in December and January as
they are (with grammar checks and what not)
* I can hand over Q&A and IRC logs, and let someone else have a go
at doing the nice magazine-feature style interview-article.

I believe I have previously sent everything in with a note "just in
case I don't get around to it", but I don't recall to whom I sent
the interview.

So - option A or option B? Emily, are you still guiding the Journal
through its difficult birthing? Would you care to choose for me?

Thanks! And sorry.
Dave.
