Re: GNUstep developers session at FOSDEM?

[Martin Brecher]

Hi, -

that's a great idea. Of course, I'll attend :-)

One topic that might be interesting especially for European developers would be 
the ease of localization because GNUstep provides such great built in 
mechanisms to translate applications. If that isn't cover in the library 
introduction then it might be great to have a keynote about Bundles in general 
(including the localization stuff) because Bundles are one (more) thing that 
makes GNUstep superior to other toolkits.

Greetings,
Martin
