Maintainers of GNOME modules, platform architects

1.2. Description

The aim of this hackfest is to move GSettings and dconf to the state needed to have it used in GNOME 3. Some non-trivial GNOME modules will be ported to validate the API and help find issues.

Novell will host the hackfest in Cambridge. We expect to have no more than 5-7 participants.
