Hi,

With the imminent release of the Nokia N900 GNOME technologies will be
deployed widely in the mobile arena. Maybe the GNOME foundation should
issue a press release. Or we should think of other ways to exploit the
news.

Maybe show an article + image on the front page of the GNOME website?
Also like new releases of Ubuntu, Fedora etc with new GNOME releases
could be listed. Or maybe computer vendors such as system76 release a
new notebook with GNOME on it. Now I think of it we could maybe have
some section called Powered by GNOME Technologies

Feedback, more ideas?


Would be good to figure out how much GNOME it is before doing that?

Beside lots of fd.o stuff, Maemo Fremantle uses GNOME stuff like atk1.0,
clutter, evolution-data-server, gconf, glib, gnome-vfs, GStreamer, gtk,
gvfs, libglade2, libsoup2.4, totem-pl-parser, tracker, vte.

Behdad:

Unless this is confidential information, why not raise this issue
on the GNOME marketing list.  They are probably the best at thinking
of ways to exploit news.

Perhaps this would be good to hype on:

   http://www.gnome.org/mobile/

for example.

Yes, we are on the public marketing list.  :)

Thanks Andre for the additional information - based on that, I would highly
recommend we issue a GNOME Press Release.

Do we have any volunteers who could turn around writing one fairly quickly?
