A press release from Mandriva:

Mandriva recently completed its participation in the KDE aKademy 2007 conference, sponsoring the event, presenting various technologies, and providing Mandriva Flash keys to developers attending the conference. Today Mandriva announces a similar program for the 2007 GUADEC GNOME conference, which is taking place in Birmingham from July 15th to July 21st. Again, as well as sponsoring the conference, Mandriva is arranging to provide special edition Mandriva Flash USB keys to developers attending the conference as a token of appreciation for their work.

"The GUADEC organisation wanted to make a bold move and remove the use of paper for promotional materials as much as possible," said Bastien Nocera, a member of the GUADEC 2007 organization committee. "Thanks to Mandriva, GUADEC sponsors have been able to offer videos, code and application demonstrations on the USB key," he continued. "We hope to have set a standard in social responsibility by cutting detritus, and hope Mandriva and other conferences will continue this work in the future."
