Hi, everyone: On behalf of the GNOME Foundation Board, I'd like to announce the appointment of a new mobile stewardship team to coordinate and focus GNOME's mobile efforts. The team members will be Paul Cooper, Dave Neary, and Stormy Peters.
The team will have two primary tasks. First, the board wants to make sure that there is a coherent vision and strategy around GNOME Mobile so that we can all move forward. We want this team to help discover and clarify that vision- holding and leading whatever conversations, meetings, etc. are necessary so that we can understand where GNOME Mobile is, where it should be going, and how the Foundation can be most helpful in getting it there. It is important to stress that the people already involved in GNOME Mobile will be the ones setting the direction- in keeping with the Foundation's charter, this team will be facilitators, not decision makers. Second, the team will also work on communication. The Board want to ensure that there are people empowered to speak on GNOME's behalf to the mobile community. If you've got questions about the Foundation, finances, events, things like that, you can talk to them. Similarly, when the media asks the board for comments on mobile, we'll typically be pointing at this group, who can take things on themselves or delegate to the relevant experts. And of course the board will be looking to the team for feedback and reporting on how GNOME Mobile is progressing. If you have questions, please feel free to talk to the team members, or to the board. For the time being, we expect the team to communicate primarily via the existing GNOME Mobile development list (cc'd). Should the need arise, we'll create a separate email alias for them and announce it in the appropriate places, but until then, please contact them there. Thanks and good luck to everyone- Luis, on behalf of the board _______________________________________________ foundation-announce mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-announce
