I was pleasantly surprised when I saw your name on the FSF newsletter. I 
wish you best luck to your trip to Boston.

On the other hand, I'm honored but also flattered that you would even 
mention my name, despite that in the past 6 months since I joined the 
group, my contribution was minor and trivial. I do apologize: I have to 
divide my time among CTT, GNU webmaster team, and recently Savannah 
hackers. I have failed to honor the deadlines I myself set on Savannah's 
trackers. I have the Emacs window open for weeks but I still failed to 
make any progress.

wxie, I'm interested in knowing what you'll talk about at libreplanet. 
You could mention that by contributing to GNU, contributors also learn 
much more about free software, not only the philosophy, but also our 
"hacker skills", as I would call it. In the context of CTT and my 
experience specifically, I learned to use Emacs (but only barely) and 
CVS, then I refreshed my knowledge about HTML. And I think this 
experience helped me a lot when I applied to be a GNU webmaster.

OK, that's all from me. Good luck at libreplanet!
