Sounds good. I've been working on 3/4 total for GNOME + GIMP, which fits.

I think we will try to have 2 demos - GNOME and GIMP - and rotate.
Unless we have time to do a few of both.

For GNOME, it'll be someone else. I'm afraid I won't be there - work
committments, family committments, moving house committments.

Hmmm... doing a GIMP or GNOME clip is going to be hard. I think I'm
going to need a lot of help for that.
