That is great news and we have to hurry up of course to hit the
timeline!
What I would like to suggest is that we look through the glasses of
FOSDEM visitors. That are
* 33% core developers tied to other FOSS projects who already know
GNUstep from the past and have some (bad?) prejudice about it
* 33% developers not tied to any project and looking for interesting
new projects
* 33% others (i.e. Families going for a walk on Sunday afternoon)
So what would they want to see and hear in the talks?
Some thoughts (without priorities):
1. How to install and run GNUstep on Windows
2. The new Cairo Backend (Cairo - Fred)
3. Applications, Applications, Applications (GAP - Riccardo)
4. How can I contribute to GNUstep?
5. Is there a nice Desktop? (Etoile - Quentin)
5. What do I get from GNUstep what I don't from GTK, Qt, Cocoa,
Android, etc.?
6. (non-)Compatibility to Macintosh and iPhone
7. What and how can I do with (Scalable) OpenGroupWare? (Helge)
