1. The poll was right at the beginning
2. I don't get how it is intimidating to raise your hand
3. I don't get how we were intimidating
4. A user interface is more like a bike shed than anything else

Obviously I sat together with other GNOME people, as I know them.
Sometimes I sit randomly in the audience. I find it curious that you
find something negative about my behaviour.
