Since then I’ve been trying to catch up on my Inbox, follow up on conversations, and generally make sure that I’m helping make great things happen in GNOME. Attended  in Boston and made a call for free web services. Pointed out several of the ones GNOME is working on. Ran into lots of interesting people but not enough time to talk to them all as much I’d have liked. I met one on one with Rosanna. And Brian. I attended board meetings. I think the new board is still figuring out who’s doing what and who’s good at what but they are coming together and their talents balance nicely. Met with Nokia about the money they are providing to GNOME Mobile. Tried to attend a webinar about Finances and nonprofits put on by our insurance company but had some technical difficulties. Will try again next time. Had several interviews for magazines and blogs. Trying to push them towards other interesting GNOME people!
