Hi,

Quoted below in entire form is a mail from the gnome-in list about a
proposed GNOME Project Day at foss.in. The details about the event of
course should be available from foss.in.

This mail is (for lack of other alternative) to ask if GNOME
contributors from outside of India would be interested in being part of
GNOME Project Day. And of course an effort to have more folks looking
into the proposal.

If you feel that this is not the list to discuss this (I sort of have a
feeling that way too), please do address your responses to the
gnome-in-list.

Regards
Sankarshan
