GUADEC 2 Coming soon!

["Rebecca J. Walter" <rjp mail tele dk>]

Fellow Gnome minions,
The time has come for you to think about saving your soul. The Day of
Judgement approaches: only 55 days remain until you must face all your
sins in Denmark, the country at the northern edge of the world. 
G-U-A-D-E-C II  is at hand.  Your wildest dreams are about to come true:
touching Miguel and Havoc, having Richard Stallman himself sign your FSF
T-shirt. Everything is possible on these days of DOOM.

For those of you who need financial assistance in order to attend the
conference --  money to bribe the gatekeepers of Denmark -- please
register at http://guadec.gnome.dk/submit/ before the 20th of February. 
All others attending are requested to register as well, if you have not
already.

Because we know many sinners are ready to try to win back their souls,
we thought we should give them a hint of what trials they will have to
endure:
