Hmm, my calendar is starting to get complicated again. Would it be a problem if we pushed it back a few days, do you think? (Just figuring out my options.) I'll be with Andreas in Denmark until the 23rd. Best-case scenario, we would make it to New York on the 24th - I would fly Copenhagen / Rio / New York and make it there mid-afternoon on the 24th, and Andreas would fly Copenhagen / New York and make it there late on the 23rd.

June 24-25 would be a bit hard for me. I leave Copenhagen early on the 23rd, arriving in Rio 20h55 on that same day. In order to be in NY on the 24th, I'd need to catch a flight right after landing here (and, still, I'd only make it to JFK mid-afternoon). Besides that, if Allan indeed needs to be back to the UK on the 26th, I guess it would be hard for him to be at the Hackfest and also get on a flight home on the 25th. Would July 1-2 work, perhaps?

It's starting to look like there are a few different hackfests scheduled in Brno in February (the 17-21). Should we try to schedule a marketing hackfest then too?

I think a marketing hackfest is a good idea to push some work. If it is easy to organize and people involved in marketing can attend, then we should do it.

Actually, it sounds like Brno might not be available with the other hackfests already being scheduled there and space contsraints. But if we agree we'd like to organize a hackfest and figure out who would likely attend we can nail down where and when. I do think that February is a good time to do it. We should avoid conflicting with FOSDEM, but we could also schedule right around it if that would help. karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Hi Jason, The GNOME Asia Summit 2011 with GNOME 3.0 hackfest pre-event survey results have been published at http://pockey.dao2.com/2010/11/gnome-3-0-hackfest-pre-event-survey-results/#content , we are more than happy to share with you the results.

In order to get feedbacks to host this hackfest, we prepared a pre-event survey at http://survey.gnome.asia/ and asked our target audiences to join including the marketing team.

Also, I have called to the professional stage and they told me that they will send me a small quote. Nothing too accurate, just for a quick estimation of expenses. Then, I remembered that the City Council owns a good place where they can record audio albums but also video documentaries (mainly). I've called them and they could lend us the boom pole, but not the mic (anyway, as far as I've understood you, you will take it). Yes, I have a Sony D50 which I am bringing which has a traditional tripod mount so that should work excellently. They didn't have a green screen available, but gave me a phone number of a small company who owns one. Also, there is another place in the city where I will ask But, if possible (as mostly all the people is asking), could you tell me the required size of the green screen? Looking at the wiki, I estimate like 2x2 meter or something like that. Is it right? Do you think that it would be ok if it's smaller? Honestly, I'm not entirely sure since this is not something that I have tried before. My impression is that the larger, the better but 2x2M should be sufficient. The reason a larger screen is better is that one wants to try to avoid casting any shadows on the screen when standing in front of it. That generally means standing quite a bit in front of it. I'm going to go ahead and bring my green screen so don't worry about it. I am about to catch my plane to Madrid. Please do keep us posted on a stage/lighting situation, though!

Zaragoza is very active in the promotion of Free Software. Success: Established relationships with local government Can we define it further - have specific goals e.g. get Zaragoza govt to install Ubuntu with Gnome on 1000 PCs by end of 2010 (I am just saying)Well, the Zaragoza city has its own distribution called AZLinux (It is an customized opensuse-based distro). And yes, they use GNOME on the desktop. They are using this distribution for all their employees of the town administration. They have their own migration roadmap and AFAIK it is very advanced. From my view, I think GNOME could do better in helping on the deployment for organizations (mentioned as Be elegible for Corporate deployments. on the GNOME SWOT analysis). All the cases I know, the organization have to develop their own solution for this or use proprietary solutions. I think GNOME can do better on this side and provide a framework for helping organization to migrate from Active Directory deployments. The best try of this was the APOC project.

Best, Paul For me, I've seen 3.0 demonstrations a couple of times, including at the last Marketing hackfest in Chicago. And honestly, I couldn't quite grasp what 3.0 is truly about. A lot of cool exciting words thrown about, but it looked also like something that requires quite a bit of learning curve if you're used to the old way and are a creature of habit (like me!) Learning is always the single biggest challenge in any adoption. So I suggest marketing 3.0 by teaching how to use it right off the bat. Create some simulations on the website where people can abe guided step by step. Not a read-through tutorial, but an actual simulation. if you do this step, watch what happens. Bravo. Now let's try another trick Bravo... Next.. and so on. People can get a rudimentary feel for how to use 3.0 and feel less intimidated than when they try it out of the box. This would reduce telling people RTFM, dude! (which I hate) and would help close the gaps between the knows and dont-knows. It also can give a user experience to those out there who haven't tried GNOME/FOSS and can get a little taste of it before actually trying GNOME/FOSS. That's my thought right out of the gate here. How easy it is to actually create such a simulation? I wouldn't know. :-) Bryen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

I have no doubt that physical meetings are far (far!) superior to virtual-only meetings; but having the option of virtual participation would seem to be appropriate for an organisation that sees itself as leading and cutting-edge.
