Recipes
The GNOME Cookbook Project is now in full swing. We now have a wiki and mailing list. Anyone who has mailed me with a recipe can you please post it up somewhere and provide a link on the wiki. Feel free to add the recipe as a wikipage. We also need more contributers. Please pile on as many recipes as you wish.
Photos
Remeber we also need high def pictures ready for print so all you GNOMIES out there with SLR cameras, it is time to team up with some cooks and get snapping. Hey you might even get a free lunch or dinner out of it.
Design
Design is also very important. All you design gurus out there we need to slap together a workable layout using open source tools. Are you up to the challenge or are you affraid your hunger will get the best of you? Feel free to take breaks and cook up the recipies you are laying out.
Cover Art
Have you ever said to yourself, I wish my design would end up on the front of a GNOME Cookbook? Well now is your chance…to say that to yourself and compete to get your art on the cover. Whoever wins I will personally come over, if am ever in their neighborhood, and cook them a dish from the book.
Remeber GNOMERS, feet are vehicals for finding food and fine food is worth finding. So run, don’t walk, to contribute to this wonderful symbol of our community on this, the tenth anniversary of GNOME.

This sounds like an awesome idea! I got my wife to switch from Windows to Ubuntu a year or so ago, and I also introduced her to Gourmet. It’s an AWESOME open source app for keeping track of recipes and things. I know your post isn’t about cool open source cooking apps, but I have to recommend this in case you haven’t heard of it. The site is:

Also, are you guys looking for just any recipe? Or are we talking fancy recipes? My wife and I have ton’s of good things stored in our Gourmet catalog, we’d be more than happy to contribute. We don’t have a SLR camera(just a 2.0MP one) but I’d be happy to slap up a good recipe and take some high quality shots.
And not to keep going on and on about it, but Gourmet can also export to HTML and supports a ton of file formats…so it might even be good for that as well. Be sure to post more about the GnomeCookBook, I’ll be sure to keep checking the site.
PS, You rock J5!

Oops…ignore all my ‘extra’ comments about Gourmet…I didn’t see that bit at the bottom of the GnomeCookBook page.
You already knew ;P
