Re: 3.4 Press Release
Thanks to Emily and Eleanor for volunteering! It's important that we start approaching people for quotations as soon as possible. I've seen a few suggestions already - let's draw up a list of potential quotees and go from there. I'll be on IRC all day.

GSoC News Post
Hi all, I thought I'd throw this out there, in case anyone is interested in doing it. GNOME has recently been accepted for the upcoming Google Summer of Code. It'd be great to have a short news post for gnome.org about it. It can be very minimal - what GSoC is, what we'll be doing, when it'll be running, how people can apply. Get in touch if you want to help; I'm happy to act as editor. Allan -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Re: GSoC News Post
Here comes another rough draft (around noon today I sent a reply only to Allan's mail address... note to myself, learn how reply to a mailist). The GNOME project accepted as an participant organization in Google Summer of Code 2012 (headline) For the 7th year the GNOME project will participate in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program. Google Summer of Code is an opportunity for post-secondary students to contribute code to open source projects during summer vacation and get paid for successful contributions. This year edition of Google Summer of Code is between May 21 - August 24 , the deadline for submissions is April 6. The GNOME project offer students several interesting projects to work on, a list with suggestions is available at http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2012/Ideas It is also possible to submit your own idea. [a quote from a member of the GNOME foundation that say something about GSoC as a great way to get involved in the GNOME project/open source] For more information about requirements and how to apply please visit http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2012/Students This draft is very minimal maybe it can be extended in some way.
