 Emily:


  As for the Annual Report, what I'm hearing is a conflict somewhat in
 what the vision for the annual report is/should be. Do we want it to be
 an overview of what has gone on in GNOME over the last year (or in this
 case, two years) - ie the quarterly reports condensed into one report?
 Or do we want to focus on one or two 'important' areas of each teams
 work for the last year? I can see the benefits to each vision, and I'm
 honestly not sure which one is preferable, although I lean towards the
 second.


 The same answer may not be the right answer for all GNOME teams.  The
 production of reports is very dependent on volunteer effort, so I think
 it is good to have a process that gives project teams some flexibility.

 Ultimately we want to communicate that we are a vibrant and productive
 community with a strong, positive vision.  To do this, we do not need
 to include updates from every team, but focus on the ones that make a
 strong impact.


  The only real problem I see with it is time - if we want to get the
 annual report out within the next month, the second route will be much
 harder to accomplish. I think I should be able to read through the
 quarterly reports and hash something together for each team fairly easy
 in the next couple weeks, but writing completely new content/articles
 will take longer. Alternatively we can start contacting the bloggers as
 suggested by Dave and see if any of them would be willing to contribute,
 and go from there.


 I would recommend using the quarterly reports more as a guide to better
 understand which teams we should be contacting and pushing the hardest
 to provide content.  I also like the idea of contacting bloggers and
 doing a call for contributions and inspiration from the GNOME
 community.

Thanks for the notice.
After reading this twice it's still not clear to me what the deadline is
about.  Do you ask for help with / about having a GNOME booth/
representation? Or is this a call for GNOME talks and presentations?

http://ellak.gr/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=7132
has the initial call for volunteers and venues in Greece.
The conference takes place in Athens and also in three/four other
cities in Greece.
Therefore, the audience for this initial call is for people in Greece.

The conference organisers invite several speakers from outside Greece
to give a talk in English.
I suppose it's up to us (Greek team) to suggest an invited speaker from GNOME.
Stathis, can you contact ellak.gr in case they are still looking for speakers?

There are opportunities for GNOME Booths, as we had last year
(Salonica and Larisa, both organised by Stathis).
It's quite easy to get a booth, as long as we have the volunteers to man them.
