John, If you're interested in getting something like this started (or if anyone else is), I encourage you to join the Engagement team. We talk about things like this. We need more members to get cool projects off of the ground, so if you are interested in increasing internal engagement at GNOME, or increasing external engagement, (or both!), please consider joining us.
We have regular meeting on Fridays at 17:00 UTC on a blend of the # engagement channel and https://meet.jit.si/engagement. You're still in time if you want to make the one today ;) Best, Nuritzi (IRC: nuritzis) On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 8:17 AM, Sriram Ramkrishna <s...@ramkrishna.me> wrote: > > > On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 2:47 AM Sébastien Wilmet <swil...@gnome.org> > wrote: > >> On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 10:47:16PM +0200, Vincent Untz wrote: >> > Thanks for reminding me of the old days :-) >> > >> > Various people did that in the past: >> > >> > >> https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/1999-July/msg00021.html >> > >> https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2001-April/msg00034.html >> > https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/2002-April/msg00068.html >> > https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/2004-March/msg00017.html >> > >> > I think that last one is the last that was sent, but not really sure. >> >> More recently, Frédéric Péters wrote the commit digests: >> https://blogs.gnome.org/commitdigest/ >> >> With statistics.
