Re: GNOME Community Calendar
Hi Meg, If you give me the details, I would be happy to add the events to the community calendar. Alternatively, I could give you the rights to edit the calendar yourself. Just let me know.

scheduling FoG campaign call
hey all! I set up a dudle survey so we can hopefully find a time early next week to talk about the next Friends of GNOME campaign. If there's a time that works I can set up a dial-in number so we can all actually talk to each other :) https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/GNOMEmarketing/ The times are in UTC, and I've chosen 15:00 to 21:00 as the range which is I think: 4pm to 10pm Central European 10am to 4pm East Coast 7am to 1pm West Coast I hope that's not too confusing!! If we decide what to do on that call, perhaps we can launch the campaign during the next week and have all of December for that holiday spirit fundraising! best, Karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
