Description

The GNOME Marketing team would like to meet to define and launch the GNOME 3.0 launch plans.

The regional governments of Zaragoza and Aragon are interested in free software and want to support initiatives that help companies and public administrations to develop and use free software.

The municipality is migrating to free software. They already have done part of that migration. Now they have finished the plan for migrating their desktops (GNOME) so they are very interested in talking to GNOME directly.
