Re: Getting some students in communication helping with copywriting web?
Great, that's a couple of volunteers, and should be enough to get us started. I'll check whether it's possible to propose tutored projects through the foundation, if not, I can proxy for GNOME here. A few project ideas I had in this area were: * Working on those stock presentations storyboards we've been talking about for years * Doing some promotional videos * Doing boring marcomm work related to marketing materials (t-shirts, posters, etc) to improve our conference presence in general * Of course, it's possible to suggest web work copywriting too, but I don't think we could easily make a degree-sized project easily for that.

Re: Getting some students in communication helping with copywriting web?
Dave, This looks awesome, I'm willing to help as well. Two other projects are reviewing and updating the new GNOME.org content - we've got a good first pass (that also needs to be finished) and we did some planning against a second level of content that students could work on. Another projects is helping to migrate GNOME Journal from it's current CMS to Wordpress - it's tedious, but someone would need to go through all of the content, update the permalinks, update all of the photos and links to them in the articles, etc. I would put that under your boring header for Marcomm. :) Paul On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 5:32 AM, Dave Neary dne...@gnome.org wrote: Great, that's a couple of volunteers, and should be enough to get us started.

Booth request follow-up
I can't seem to find the wiki page with the conference booth request and schedule so this was the next best place. The Utah Open Source Conference is next week (Oct 7-9). I've been planning on running the booth there. If anyone can point me in the right direction to make sure that it gets where it needs to go when it needs to be there, I'd appreciate it.

Re: Blogs on ereaders
So let's do it then! :-) Although I just found out Kindle charges me $4.99 a week whenever I'm out of the country. Nice little hidden charge, huh?
