On the one hand, nothing. On the other hand, since this mailing list has consistently gone down in quality in recent years, and since most of what I would like to see happen on this list appears to happen on IRC (or so I'm told), perhaps being subscribed to this list doesn't count as "a consistent presence". Oh - and I do have at least some familiarity with the community. > for instance, in your plans, are there any GIMP people involved yet? No - Mukund volunteered to go, but will not be able to get a visa for the US. No-one from the US on gimp-user or gimp-developer has offered to go and man the stand. I know that both yosh and pippin will be around, but neither will be available for the stand, apparently. Help would be appreciated. Particularly from US based artists. Which is why I posted my initial request on gimp-user, not gimp-developer. But then, this particular call for help is probably useless, since I suspect that you & I are the only two people interested in this thread anymore. Although even that is probably not true.
