Heya, is the lgm at gnome.org email working? I got a bounce from you
dave. Is gnome foundation going to hold funds again? Should I talk
with stormy about this or can you do?

Also, should we setup our own info at libregraphicsmeeting.org email to
handle emails?

Yes, good idea on the pitch...I think the website can suffice for
seeking funding, then can make a 1 page pdf or something printable....

thx
Jon
