Photos related to sysadmining and post-apocalyptic recovery

2015-03-06 Thread Jeff Fortin Tam
Hey folks, calling all photographers with extensive collections here :) I'm working on a prospectus document for a new round of GNOME sysadmin sponsorship/funding, and I thought I would include a "before vs after" section. But just having text for that would probably not be as striking as I would

Hey folks, There are a few things that the foundation board has been up to in recent months that will be worth taking the time to write about. Namely: - We have signed an agreement with WHS (Wau Holland Foundation) to have them handle funds (receiving and spending) in Europe on our behalf. That m

To be fair, I've seen "worse" in terms of divergence. The changes Korora made are fairly minute and superficial in my humble opinion, and I certainly would not want to discourage them from being enthusiastic about shipping GNOME. Looking at that page you mention, they even took an effort to make it

Length for articles in the annual report
