Hi all, For a long time we have had a news feed for gnome.org and a separate Foundation blog. I'm proposing that we combine them both into the gnome.org feed.
A bit of background. First, I think we should be moving in a direction where the Foundation isn't considered to be a separate entity from the GNOME project. The Foundation is a vital part of our project, there shouldn't be much of a difference between 'The GNOME Project' and 'The GNOME Foundation' in terms of membership and identity. Second, GNOME's news feeds are currently in a rather poor state. They are highly fragmented and are often dead or on life support. The gnome.org news feed and the Foundation blog are almost identical in scope. The gnome.org feed provides 'official', generally non-technical, news about what is happening in the GNOME project. The Foundation blog is exactly the same, except that it is restricted to the Foundation. There is a large class of subjects that I would like to see on both streams, including board elections, fund raising campaigns, new members, release announcements and initiatives such as the GNOME Outreach Program for Women. Both the gnome.org news stream and the Foundation blog would benefit from having a higher frequency of posts. It might be hard to lose the Foundation blog, but I think we'd be stronger if we united our feeds. Thoughts? Opinions?
