Pants

GNOME awards a pair of pants to an outstanding contributor each year at GUADEC — the "Pants of Thanks". This page is an attempt to reconstruct the history of who got the pants when. It is helpful to the board when they decide on the pants winner each year.

Some information on this page is wrong. Please help fix it. Please help fill in missing information. We want this to be a page that really highlights the pants winners and explains why they received this coveted prize. With the collective memory of all us old farts, maybe we'll get there.
