I understand that the other organizations that you list do not have a charitable cause as their primary goal, but that is not necessarily true about software organizations. The GNOME Foundation, like other charitable free software 501(c)(3) organizations, is dedicated to creating software in the public interest and creating a public work that increases access to technology for those who would not otherwise have it. We also advocated for the adoption of free and open source software for safety and for the betterment of society (check out my OSCON speech about the safety of software on implanted medical devices: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFZGpES-St8). Clearly we have a clear charitable cause, and our tax exempt status is predicated on that. I would understand excluding software trade associations (501(c)(6) organizations like the Eclipse Foundation or the Linux Foundation), but why all software organizations? Free software orgs like GNOME obviously do have a clear charitable cause - that is how they are formed and also classed as such by the IRS. Is this one of the situations outside of what is normally done? Should we apply? Would you consider changing the wording of your FAQ to indicate that there are times when software organizations do have a charitable cause. Perhaps by saying ...and other types of organizations which are sometimes without a clear charitable cause? thanks for following up with us, Karen Sandler On Tue, November 8, 2011 10:11 am, Peter Ross wrote: Hi, My name's Peter Ross and I'm writing from Flattr, the micro-payments system.

Shortly before the 3.4 release the web team made some adjustments to the page http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ This made the links for Arch Linux, Mageia and Debian smaller. I feel some explaining of the rationale behind this is in order so that we don't end up with the same thing again within the next 6 months. We made this change so it would be more straight to get GNOME for the largest share of website visitors possible. Taking aside the fact that it's a fairly complicated business to get yourself a working GNOME 3 system compared to say, installing Firefox or LibreOffice, I felt these three systems are fair compromises (they are also ordered alphabetically): * Fedora - best in class, big download link straight off their website and a system that is very close to a vanilla GNOME 3 system (+ some software I am somewhat unhappy about like SELinux, ABRT but that's ok). * OpenSUSE - Some jumping through hoops in order to get what you're actually looking for and a certain risk of ending up with KDE or some other system in the end. I've talked to Jos and the current link is the best we can do today. [1] * Ubuntu - By default Ubuntu comes with something that is very different from what we advertise on our websites, but questions about how to install latest GNOME 3 on Ubuntu keeps coming up a lot on our G+, Facebook and news articles, so hopefully the apt:-link will do all right. So what about the others then? I forgot about the Amazing Distro X! :) I felt that the instructions for Arch (GNOME is available in the _extra_ repository), Mageia (GNOME 3 is coming in the next version) and Debian (In experimental, not in stable at all).

For the next print it should be written on them in a small font in a dark corner. * Tobias put up some of our available t-shirts but we were missing a ROPE/TAPE so we ended up using two network cables to get them onto the wall. It had a geeky charme so maybe we should not fix this. * The LEAFLET includes a screenshot of GNOME 2 (and doesn't look great if they are just black and white photocopies). * Tobias wants one of these STAND-UP displays that are a poster in 120x200cm and can be rolled up. I have no idea what it's called and no idea yet what to put onto it. * I sometimes wonder (for geeky audiences) if we should have a how-to help list handy, like some (real) examples for tasks where we need help (e.g. application $foo needs updated documentation or $bar's maintainer is AWOL and you could take over). Might not make us look good though, so maybe just a printed summary of the Getting involved page showing that there are many areas where people can contribute and that you don't need to be a coder.

Google Code-In 2011: Tasks wanted!
Google Code-In starts again. GNOME took part in it last year already. === What is Google Code-in (GCI)? === You might call it the small sister of Google Summer of Code. It is a contest for 13-17 year old highschool students. Tasks take 3-5 days and have a mentor assigned. Tasks can be in several categories: * Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code * Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents * Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing * Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality * Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions * Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more * Translation: Tasks related to localization * User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction For more info check out http://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2011/about === How to participate === GNOME needs 5 tasks in each of the 8 categories (=40 tasks in total) until October 31st in order to participate in GCI. That's in a few days already, so hurry up if you have an idea! That would be the first batch of tasks. A second batch would be published on December 16th. Tasks need a clear description, one or more defined mentors, an expected timeframe to solve them, and difficulty (easy, medium, hard). More info for mentors is available here: http://code.google.com/p/google-code-in/wiki/GCIAdminMentorInformation No ideas? Check out for example KDE's list: http://community.kde.org/GoogleCodeIn/2011/Ideas You could even add generic tasks: Add three GCI tasks Fix a bug of your choice for the product $foo in GNOME Bugzilla (one easy, one medium and one hard), let the student pick a bug, and then tell her/him whether to claim the easy, medium or hard task for it. === Criticism from last year === ...as it helps to avoid wrong expectations: GCI is not GSoC. There is not enough time to create an emotional binding to the project that the student works on. I'd rather call it drive-by contributions. Patches might need several iterations and you will need to be both patient and reactive (as students cannot claim a new task until their patch has been reviewed and marked as completed by mentors). It might be helpful to mention in task descriptions your availability, e.g. that you also have free weekends or don't plan to review submissions on christmas holidays. But all in all it is a good way to help young people to get a first idea of FOSS and contributing to it, and to create some future contributors. Are you in? If so, go to https://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn and add some ideas to https://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn/Tasks !

Google Code-In for GNOME: We Need Tasks!
[Please strip the CC list in case of category specific answers!] Hi, some might remember Google's GHOP contest in 2007/08. This year it will take place under the name Google Code-In (GCI) from November 2010 to January 2011. GCI is a small sibling of Google Summer of Code for highschool students (13-18yrs) and with much smaller tasks in several fields (like docu, code, translation, etc). The average amount of time to be spent for a task should be about three days. For more info please see http://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn If you have an idea about a possible task, want to guide a student to fulfil it and perhaps also want to get new contributors for your project/area, please read http://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn/HowToWriteAGoodTask and propose your tasks at *** http://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn/Tasks *** For an idea of tasks that were available in 2007 see http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-gnome/issues/list?can=1q=sort=id Also some old (unused) tasks from 2009 are available at http://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn/OldTasks . Mentors are encouraged to update them and move them to the Tasks wikipage if they are still applicable/available.

Heh. That's exactly the one that I have gotten the most positive comments (cute etc) and conversation starts (what is GNOME?) for. Really? For me, it's got low brand value, it's a bit confusing, and the whole monkeys in-joke is distracting. I'm not a huge fan of the design, and the t-shirt colours aren't great (but of wourse that's personal preference). Interesting point. I totally agree that the brand value is stronger in other designs. However having just the GNOME logo on a shirt looks like maybe just another clothing brand I don't know about yet to outsiders without providing much values. My naive idea: If the House of Monkeys shirt is considered cute, the first impression of people not knowing GNOME is that GNOME is also something cute. Probably it really depends on who you talk to.

I think at least this should be mentioned somewhere on the homepage. No, Mandriva Linux 2009.0 is planned for Oct 09. If we start with this, every distro will want us to list them too. Have fun explaining what major means... ;-) I'd prefer to see http://www.gnome.org/~davyd/footware.shtml reworked instead. andre -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | failed http://www.iomc.de/ | http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

If we still have a splash screen in ten years, we have done something wrong. (I think I quoted dobey here.) Also wondering if this would annoy me when I log in for the, say, 30th time. andre -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | failed http://www.iomc.de/ | http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
