Good question! Prompted by your email, I've typed "spread gnome" into google, and found this: http://www.spreadgnome.org/ ... which claims to be "restructuring". Look at blog posts and this list's archive, the site was launch in August of this year. I don't remember if the site ever had any content, but it certainly doesn't now. I rather agree with what Quim said at the time: -------------- I still wonder why we need an external site to promote GNOME. To me it is a symptom of a GNOME and gnome.org failure. The wgo revamp tries to solve failures like this, and I don't see what GNOME marketing spreadgnome.org could do that gnome.org can't do. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2006-August/msg00225.html ---------------- So basically: Let's plan a "spread gnome" page in our section, that stands on its own. See what that does. Then think about whether we want to expand it to a whole site. That basically means it's up to us what we suggest people can do to help market gnome: as you say, LUGs, corporates, public organizations etc. One thing we'll have to remember is to ask the guy who owns http://www.spreadgnome.org/ to change his links once WGO is up. PS. Does anyone feel like updating the image we have on http://live.gnome.org/MarketingTeam, or doing a new one? I don't want to offend whoever's hard work that is, but it looks like the guy's being screamed at... ___________________________________________________________ Inbox full of spam?
