Slogan for the Democratic Party

In a response to Nat

"Freedom, Peace and Choice make America Great. Democratic Party."

Of course, this only works because the "conservatives" have leaned toward becoming fascist, war hawks. It's interesting that a true conservative would espose two out of three of the above on the basis of personal liberties and responsibility.

GNOME SoC 2008

GNOME is joining Google for the fourth annual Summer of Code program. We need your ideas and expertise as mentors to make this our best year yet and bring more awesome Free Software into existence. This year, we would like to see projects about the integration between various
GNOME modules. Other types of projects are of course also welcome, like new programs, bling, etc.

As long as there are mentors available, we are also taking SoC proposals for GNOME related technologies and projects such as GStreamer, Avahi, Beagle, Bluez and Telepathy so don't feel left out if your favorite project isn't part of GNOME or just isn't yet. We will also be collaborating with KDE to mentor freedesktop.org related projects.

Please submit your ideas and volunteer to mentor on our wiki at http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2008/Ideas. Ideas that are posted will be triaged by the GNOME SoC Admins based on mentor support and feasibility.

Note that the student submission deadline is March 31st so get your great ideas up so students will have plenty of time to help our favorite desktop keep rocking!
