Re: Brno Hackfest News Coverage
Hi all,
I don't think I'm going to have time to write a Brno report for
gnome.org. Get in touch if you fancy having a go; I'll edit and
there's plenty of material on Planet GNOME.
Best,
Allan

That's great - thanks Christy! The schedule has a few notes on it. We
basically want a post before ('we're going to do cool stuff') and a
post afterwards ('we did cool stuff'), plus microblogging during the
event. It would be awesome if you could make sure that the posts get
proofed before they are published...
I signed you up on the wiki, so it's all official now. ;)

Hi all,
The a11y hackfest news coverage is almost done, and the preparations
for the FOSDEM stories are in full swing. Thanks to Juanjo, Christy
and Emily for their contributions!
The next event on the calendar [1] is the Brno hackfest, which will
combine a Gtk+ and a documentation event. Does anyone fancy taking the
lead on this one? It's not a huge amount of work and it would be a
great way to help out.

Re: Annual Report Status?
Cool, aside from the wiki, does anyone have a list of who's in charge of/volunteered to do other articles? Are the respective teams working on their sections or should I just do for each of the remaining sections as I did with the Accessibility/a11y report?

Re: Annual Report Status?
Hi, IMHO, it's better not to have homework articles - if a team doesn't have anything compelling to write about, they shouldn't be in the report. So I'd love to see us come up with a table of contents and each section should have an editor or author at this point. Cheers, Dave.

Re: Annual Report Status?
How about I combine the 'overviews' from 2010/2011 for each team (which are really just each years quarterly reports combined together themselves), and send them off to each group asking for updates/fixes/additions/etc, and then publish each of them. That way we ensure we have at least short status reports from each main group in GNOME. (This is basically what I did with the accessibility/a11y report.) As for the combination, that absolutely makes sense, should I/we contact GNOME.Asia GUADEC now re: how we're going to publish this or wait a while longer? If we're going to include their respective brochures for this year, do we still want/need their sections in the international events section? Or do we want to include the brochures along side/within that section?

I love the idea of bundling them together to give to sponsors, and even link to them from our web published versions, but I don't really understand how it would work to actually include them in the report.
