I'm willing to help out although I've always been very skeptical about the effectiveness of IRC brainstorming and meeting sessions (I suppose they're better than mailing lists). Anyway, I've been working on getting the word of GNOME out in the rustbelt of the central United States, mainly at regional conferences, etc. Anyway, I'm in EDT (UTC-4) right now. August 2nd - 08:45 - 01:00 (8/3) August 3rd - 08:45 - 15:00, 17:00 - 02:00 (8/4) August 4/5 - No guarantees August 6-10 - Generally 08:45 - 01:00 There, I've put my times down stating once again, I'm interested in helping to market GNOME. I think John's suggestion is great and is the most concrete step I've seen so far. However, in the end what it all comes down to is finding people to implement the ideas. --Patrick -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
