Ryan organized something like a freedesktop summit last year at the suse
offices in nuremberg. AFAIK you were invited but didn't show. People
from GNOME, KDE and Razor did show up. This was actually where we hashed
out many of the details of kdbus with Ryan.

Not sure if you're meaning this for Thiago or me, but I wasn't. So my impressions are purely from people's reports of the event. But it was my understanding that the meeting was more of a working group around existing specs, and less about presentations about thing that different people are working on. I think that largely seeing the cool ways people are solving perhaps overlapping problems could lead to new collaborations, which I'd love to see.<BR>
