It seems to me there's a continuing need to 1) raise awareness about
GNOME, 2) raise money for GNOME, and 3) provide services around open
tools so users don't need to host their own servers, etc., to benefit
from services like Snowy, iFolder, etc.

Somewhere in there should be a self-sustaining model to raise money
for the hosting and GNOME, and provide Free as in Freedom services for
users in the bargain...

Best,
