For the life of me I cannot figure out how to mark videos as part of the GNOME channel. We have several 3.0 related videos that I would like to see tagged. Which videos do you want to tag? I'm generally of the view that we should limit ourselves to pushing high quality videos. At the moment, I just want our 3.0 videos that we did. I don't have any other ones at the moment. They're all on there [1], aren't they? As for quality I'm not sure. I think it depends on what the channel wants to be used for. The original idea behind the channel was to have a place for people to get videos on how to use GNOME effectively, to highlight features, learn how to use our popular applications. I agree a certain standard needs to met, but it shouldn't be so onerous that we get nothing. Probably something we have to play by ear. Yeah I agree with that. What I would like to avoid is turning it into a community site that features any old screencast someone might have cooked up. The other thing is that it would be good to avoid having yet another news channel. In the recent past we have used the youtube account for hosting but embedded the videos in our websites. That still seems the right way to go, unless we can guarantee a regular stream of new content on the channel. Speaking of videos, it's time we retired the ones Jason made. It would be great to have some replacements!

FoG Campaign Update?
Hi all, I haven't been particularly involved in this, and I thought the initial announcement was awesome. I just wanted to ask if there are any plans to produce updates? For a campaign like this it is really important to keep the pressure up and to make people feel like it is an ongoing effort. A progress update would be great, and I'd be happy to help post it on gnome.org if someone wants to write a draft.

Organising GNOME News
Hi all, We can do a much better job at organising our news generating activities, so that we have a more regular flow of posts and so that we adequately cover events when they happen. To this end, I've started some planning pages on the wiki. There's a high-level [1] page covering goals and, perhaps more importantly, there's also a planning page [2] that covers event planning and content ideas. I think we should have someone who is responsible for coordinating the news around each GNOME event. They need to make sure that news stories get written and proofed and go out on time, and they need to make sure that necessary arrangements take place before each event. As I trial run, I've put myself down as the news lead for FOSDEM 2012 [3]. If it goes well I'm hoping that other people will volunteer to do other events. I hope that this will give people an opportunity to get involved in generating GNOME news and gives us a vehicle to get more organised. Thoughts? Opinions?

I would still like to see the original idea of having a subscription and getting interesting how to videos or perhaps screencasts of new features etc. Speaking of videos, it's time we retired the ones Jason made. It would be great to have some replacements! I agree! I was kind of thinking that we could have something setup for GUADEC.Meaning we work with the guadec organizing committee to have a room reserved with everything setup to do videos so that we can get others to do short video clips on the new features of GNOME 3. That way it isn't allon Jason or someone else to set up a video setup. It'll be fun too because it would be a group effort. I nominate Lennart Poettering for at least one! :) sri Allan [1] http://www.youtube.com/GNOMEDesktop -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

This makes sense to me, and we can release the second testimonial if it's ready at the same time. What do you think? We should get a bunch of people to blog it that week too. And I'm definitely mentioning the campaign in my linux.conf.au keynote on Thursday. :) karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
