Fwd: Re: West Coast Hackfest 2015 Planning​

 

Hey dudes,




Communication from Sri regarding gnome Westcoast. In case you missed it, I want to see if we can sponsor people to attend. It's be good to foster a better relationship with the GNOME/GTK crowd and also a great opportunity to work together in person. 



Cheers,
