 I made the silly question how many use GNOME and only 2-3 hands went

 We also had a draw for an openSUSE T-shirt, as gift for their

AGM Presentation Quarterly Reports

2012-07-19 Thread Emily Gonyer
Hi there, I'm working on the AGM Presentation and have a couple of questions.

1) What events has GNOME had a marketing presence at over the last
year? Currently I have whats on the wiki page under GNOME Events:
FOSDEM, LinuxTag, CeBit, GNOME.Asia as well as the Montréal Summit and
Linux.conf.Au - what am I missing?  And does anyone have good photos
from any of them? Also, should I include hackfests?

2) Are we doing the Web presentation along side marketing? I know
Christy  Elena have both done tons of work on it over the last six
months, and want to make sure their work is highlighted at some point.
If we're doing it together, what are the main changes that have
happend?

Also, our quarterly report is due, and I'm happy to write it but am
unsure what has gone on over the last couple months. Can someone fill
me in?

Thanks,

Emily

Hi Sri,

 I've written most of the presentation, but I would like some suggestions
 to improve it.  I'll be presenting it at Northwest Linuxfest this Saturday.

Thanks! Keep us posted how it goes.

First impressions are that the content is great, but needs to be more
graphic  less wordy.

I'd spread the whole thing out. Slides 3  4 are too wordy to me, and
could potentially be split over 10 slides:

(Slide #: text: image)
3: 2008 hackfest: photo maybe?
http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/gnome-ux-hackfest-photos/ for example
4: Design  user experience: Early mock-up(s) from wiki/pencil drawings
ideal - one candidate: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mairin/4384751226/
Another source:
http://www.gnome.org/~mccann/shell/design/GNOME_Shell-20091114.pdf
Another: http://blogs.gnome.org/seth/2010/02/26/let-the-wild-rumpus-begin/
5: Release: Screenshot/video from http://gnome3.org/
6: Design principles: Something designy from Google Images (like
Charles de Gaulle airport maybe?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/62904109@N00/2801145645/)
7: Clutter/distraction free: Screenshot of shell
8: Task focussed: Workspace switch screenshot (talk about Hamster
workspace to task feature!)
9: Document centric: Some kind of screenshot to show what this means -
perhaps something from Federico's 2008 GUADEC presentation
10: Revamp platform: No good ideas for an image here. Talk about
API/ABI, GTK+ revamp  GObject introspection, fewer dependencies,
consistent interfaces, etc.

You can then take the audience through a slideshow of screenshots
pointing out key features - I'd point to the revamped control center
too, even though it's still in progress (worth pointing out too).

And finally I'd replace slide 9 with some screenshots of core apps that
are ported to GNOME 3 or have been included as featured apps -
Shotwell, Totem, Rhythmbox, Simple Scan: http://www.gnome.org/applications/

This is also the opportunity to explain the revamping of the release sets.

Hope this is the kind of feedback you were hoping for!

Cheers,
Dave.

Thank you, Dave for all your suggestions!  I really appreciate it.  I looked
at hte slides again with fresh eyes yesterday and killed a bunch of them. As
you and also Bryen said, it was very wordy.  My problem was that I was using
the slides as talking points rather than just getting some fundamental idea
on the slide.

Thank you for the links!  It's always great when someone takes an interest
and takes the trouble of giving me good sources.

I'll check them out and incorporate htem.  I'll whip out another version
later today.  I'm going to practice on my team at work.. my manager was
interested in seeing what I was doing in this space.

If I can conquer this, the next talk.. an internal one at work will focus on
task based, distraction based computing enabled by GNOME 3 for the
corporate user should be fairly easy.

 Cool stuff! You used recordmydesktop, you say?

 One piece of feedback: I've found in my demos that setting high contrast
 large print inverse makes the desktop hard to put back the way it was,
 and some windows behave badly with the theme (some dialogs grows off the
 edge of the screen and I can't get at the buttons to dismiss the
 dialog). Have you found the same thing?

 I'm *really* looking forward to seeing a gok demo :)

   
 I'm kind of proud of the creative use of the cheese application in the
 keyboard-enhancements video.  ;-)
 

 Very nice indeed :) Pity about some of the video artifacts, but
 definitely did the job.

   
 These were just quick unscripted
 demos that I rattled off kind of fast, so there's definitely room for
 improvement.  I wish, for example, I knew how to edit/splice things so I
 didn't have to do them in one take.
 

 I guess Diva or Pitivi are the ones you need for a job like that?
 Although I haven't figured out how to split segments into different bits
 with that...

   
 Let me know what you think.  If you like them, I can do more for GOK,
 Dasher, and Orca.
 

 GOK! GOK! I'd love to see one for Orca too, but I suspect it'd be a half
 an hour long (or would be 3 or 4 different segments - one for the
 magnifier, one for the screen reader, one for ...)

 Cheers,

 combined into a custom presentation,
 * a list of past presentations that people have given.
 
 We have the last one but not the first two. 
 
 For this material, I'm thinking not just slides very
 good speaker notes and if possible video of people
 giving those segments. 
 
 I started a wiki page[1]. Please add topic ideas or

 topics that we will definitely have to recruit experts
 for, so jump in!

I'm not sure what you mean - but I'm not sure why anyone would give a
presentation on the overall structure of GNOME architecture.

Do you mean this is GTK+, here's the job it does, it uses Pango, atk
and glib, here are the jobs they do, over here we have libgnomeprint,
...? It doesn't seem very presentationsome.

  I'm not sure what you mean - but I'm not sure why anyone would give a

 I think (though I'm not sure) that we're looking to give a  
 presentation to some new QA folks who are unfamiliar with the GNOME  
 stack.  And the last time we did that we were only supporting GNOME  
 2.6, rather than the 2.24 we'll be supporting soon... so our materials  
 could use some updating, and it would just be nice if somebody else  
 had already done the work :)
 
 (There's some slightly more up-to-date information on 
 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArchitecture/Overview 
  , but even that only takes us up to GNOME 2.16.)

That seems to be a half-hearted effort by one person without much
involvement by anyone else. I'm tempted to rename it if not actually
remove it.

We have an official Overview of the GNOME Platform document. I guess
that any presentation slides should take the structure from that:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/platform-overview/stable/

The best document I've seen of this type, which doesn't include only the
GNOME platform (or, indeed, all of the GNOME platform) is the Maemo
platform overview:

http://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/node6.html

Shawn's GNOME platform overview is indeed a great resource also, but
could do with some more meat on the bones.

If you mean that there's no quick way to revert the font size, then  
yes, it's a pain, but one that has apparently never been considered  
important enough to fix (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104913 
, for example.)


It's slightly less of a pain now that the Theme and Fonts settings are  
reunited in the same dialog, but the lack of any way to set/increase/ 
decrease all the disparate font sizes at the same time is still a  
hassle (even disregarding a11y issues.)


and some windows behave badly with the theme (some dialogs grows off  
the

edge of the screen and I can't get at the buttons to dismiss the
dialog). Have you found the same thing?


This problem is kind of tough to deal with automatically, I'd  
imagine.  Only generic fix I can think of would be an option to  
automatically reposition windows as you keynav through them, to ensure  
that the focused control was always on-screen (a bit like the screen  
magnifier does when following keyboard focus, but without any actual  
screen magnification involved).  But that doesn't help so much if you  
don't/can't use the keyboard.


The best 'fix' is really for applications to follow the HIG's advice,  
and test their dialogs with large print fonts on small displays.  But  
that's not always a realistic constraint for complex dialogs.


Cheeri,
Calum.

Here's some quick examples of what I was thinking about for demos of the
accessibility support for GNOME.  The target audience currently is
unfortunately only for sighted people who can hear (sorry - it's my

The core goal of the presentation is to show that accessibility is
important because of the people we help. It's important not because
having a certain level of conformance with standards opens the door to
government contracts, or as a selling point for the software, but
because it helps users  developers, sometimes (like through Strongwind,

ramps and handrails.pdf (versions in .ppt and .odp will also be there,
but perhaps with missing bitmaps, etc).

The general thrust of the presentation is:

 * We use computers with standard input  output devices - a mouse, a
keyboard, a screen.
 * But that doesn't cover all use-cases. Blind people can't see screens.
People with degenerative motor illness can't use mice or keyboards. Old
people with normal illnesses like arthritis and vision impairments
can't easily use all this stuff either. And kids (and parents holding
babies ;) also have trouble with these devices which require
sophisticated hand-eye co-ordination
 * There are other hardware inputs  outputs that can help:
  * Joysticks instead of mice
  * Drawing tablets
  * Braille keyboards
  * Audio input  output (speech synthesis, audio signals, speech
recognition for commands)
  * A whole range of things like accelerometers, championned by the
iPhone and the Wii, and in general the whole range of video game
controls which make you think differently abut interracting with a computer
  * More specialised: eye trackers that can use eye movement and blink
patterns to command
  * And finally, software to make things easlier

 * Here's where GNOME fits in
 * Project founded on the principle of universal access - making
computer technology available to anyone, not just geeks, regardless of
culture, technical or physical ability - in 3 main ways: consistent,
usable, learnable user interfaces; internationalised and localised
applications (chance to explain the difference between internationalised
(take out all local assumptions) and localised (add back in all the
local constraints for many cultures)); work on accessibility (a nod to
Sun Microsystems and IBM, who have been long-time champions of this).

The rest of the presentation is a demo of various accessibility features
in GNOME. I discovered several quirks  bugs while doing the demos :-}

The demos split into 2/3 parts:

 1. General GNOME features which are useful to people with handicaps
 2. Accessibility features available to all GNOME applications,
regardless of the desktop configuration
 3. Features that depend on AT-SPI being activated, and which can be
considered advanced accessibility tools


 * Keyboard shortcuts: the entire GNOME desktop is available through use
of only the keyboard. Remove mouse, start demo:

Basics:
 1. Switch applications (Alt-Tab)
 2. Choose panel (Ctrl-Alt-Tab) - open a new application through panel
  (BUG #542325: When you open a menu while navigating with the keyboard,
you cannot again navigate with the keyboard until you click somewhere

in GNOME. I discovered several quirks  bugs while doing the demos :-}

The demos split into 2/3 parts:

 1. General GNOME features which are useful to people with handicaps
 2. Accessibility features available to all GNOME applications,
regardless of the desktop configuration
 3. Features that depend on AT-SPI being activated, and which can be
considered advanced accessibility tools


 * Keyboard shortcuts: the entire GNOME desktop is available through use
of only the keyboard. Remove mouse, start demo:

Basics:
 1. Switch applications (Alt-Tab)
 2. Choose panel (Ctrl-Alt-Tab) - open a new application through panel
  (BUG #542325: When you open a menu while navigating with the keyboard,
you cannot again navigate with the keyboard until you click somewhere
with the mouse)
 3. Alt-key to navigate menus of an application
 4. Tab, Shift-Tab to navigate through interface elements in an
application (including web application) (would be nice to show
navigation to toolbar, but I can't figure out how to do it)
 5. Each application has a set of short-cuts - show that standard
shortcuts are used across all applications to make it easier for users
of a new application.

 * Themes
  1. Show high contrast themes, and explain how they help colorblind or
visually impaired users.
  2. Show configurability of things like font sizes

 * Audio
  1. Black screen represents what a blind person sees when turning on
their computer. Ask the crowd: it takes 30s to 2 mins to boot a
computer - how does the user know when they can log in? There's an
audio signal emitted when GDM is ready to rock which serves that purpose.
 2. Show audio events config

 * Sticky keys
  1. Explain: You can press one key at a time, and still do Alt-F or
Alt-Tab. Useful if you have a baby in your lap, or any range of physical
disabilities that makes chording difficult.
  2. Activate, and do Alt Tab, Ctrl S, Alt Shift Tab, etc.
(NOTE: I discovered after the presentation to do something like
cycle through application

Do you (or anyone) still have these files somewhere?

   This is awesome. Here's some thoughts I had -
  
   o Remove the 'A Free Desktop for Unix' text, and allow that to be an
 optional secondary heading
  
  Removed the heading, but I can't figure out how to add a template
  field (or whatever it is called) for a subtitle. If anybody knows I
  will redo it.
  
   o Include an optional opening and closing page. See -
 www.gnome.org/~gman/gnome_talks/jds-presentation.sxi for an example
  
  This is a great idea, I thought some of the paragraphs some the
  marketing-pfd's (What is Gnome?, What is the Gnome project?) in
  colored boxes :) But I'm not very good in writing something up, I you
  have some ideas, please tell me and I'll design something up.
  
   o I quite like the footprints, but not so keen on seeing the foot
 reversed. Maybe someone might have thoughts on whether this is
 necessary
  
  I kinda like them, but I also thought about the background from one of
  the marketing-pfds (a light-gray really big gnome-foot in a circle) if
  somebody has a picture, I'll add it, otherwise I create one from the
  svg's on the marketing page.
  
   o I don't think the text at the bottom is necessary - usually you find
 yourself running out of room on a presentation as it is ;)
  
  That's right, I always run out of place when doing my own
  presentations. However a light-gray background-text is also possible
  if anybody feels the need to add something (like a copyright
  statement).
  
  
   Not entirely sure how you can do this in OpenOffice, but you will be my
   new hero if you can achieve this!
  
  
  Please send more advices so that I can improve them further.
  
  I have made two new templates, one with the Blue-Hills picture from
  developer.gnome.org and one with the Sunset-Tree from gnome-india.
  
  Perhaps the blue one can be made the default for
  developer-presentations and the green for user presentations. For the
  tree? I dont know.
  
  I however think we need at least one presentation template with
  deep-red for more aggresive marketing presentations.
  
  The NEW templates are located at:
  
  header image needs reworking, it's more of a draft than the others:
  http://www.olenfalk.se/files/gnome-marketing/Impress-GnomeRedTree.sti
  
  http://www.olenfalk.se/files/gnome-marketing/Impress-GnomeGreenHills.sti
  
  http://www.olenfalk.se/files/gnome-marketing/Impress-GnomeBlueHills.sti
  
  Please keep sending advice and I try to improve the templates.

   thanks heaps!!

[Fwd: Slides from GNOME on BSD presentation]

2005-05-17 Thread Dave Neary
Hi all,
Another GNOME presentation that we can include in the pool of stuff 
for GNOME marketing.

I'll attach this to live.gnome.org - anyone know of other presentations 
that we should collect, or even other places where presentations are 
gathered, that we should point to?

Cheers,
Dave.

I recently gave a talk entitled GNOME on BSD at the Canadian BSD 
conference, BSDCan. I've put the slides into a ridiculous web gallery 
thinger. The tarball is at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~adamw/gnome_on_bsd_slides.tar.bz2
Any chance it could be included in the archive along with the slides 
from other GNOME-related presentations on the GNOME ftp server?

That would be better. What do I have to do to get an account which can 
upload onto ftp.gnome.org?
