 Interestingly enough, we just kicked off a mailing list for GNOME in Iran.
 Hopefully we don't get a GNOME/KDE-Iran/Iraq war on our hands.

Aren't Americans banned from exporting things to Iran or something?

How does this affect GNOME? (or is this just a user list at the moment)

(Luckily Debian hasn't got any developers in any of the 6(?) US-banned
countries so hasn't had to deal with this issue yet)

We're seeing some activity over there too.  OpenSkills already has
members in the middle-east (to my surprise), and we have someone looking
for a JBoss whizz in Jordan (if you know of any potential candidates,
please yell).

We live in very exciting open source times, I think.
