GNOME applications should follow the Human Interface Guidelines (First document of this kind and scope in Free Software desktop space). Accessibility is integrated by switching from a “bolted-on” to a “built-in” model GNOME 3 = _Designed_ to be usable by everybody. A much more holistic approach to take desktop usability to the next level. It incorporates support for modern form factors and internet services.

Some of us were talking about putting up a website, and after Andreas' suggestion at GUADEC I went ahead and registered HappyBirthdayGNOME.com and HappyBirthdayGNOME.org What should we have on the site? This is a fantastic idea - thanks for making it happen! A few ideas: * Leave a birthday message (probably too much work, and would require moderation, but would be nice) * Some stats which summarise our accomplishments - number of commits, committers, bugs fixed, releases, companies involved, number of GUADECs, Foundation members, etc * A super short history - In 1997 two university students set out to create a Free Software desktop... I think it is important that the site is forward looking also. Here's to another 15 years carries a good message.

A simple photo gallery would be nice. Deadline for when the site needs to be up is August 15th btw. I'll start working on a design. - Andreas -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

I took all of the ideas thus far and put them here: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/HappyBirthdayGNOME If there's something you want to work on, add your name to the item! I'll email jrb and see if there are any materials they have that we should use from their talk (maybe we can post their talk, actually). karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
