Shouldn't there be some mention of the humanitarian aspects of free software. Mention, for example, that GNOME is used by the one-laptop-per-child progrma, it has accessibility, etc. You do mention localization in global languages, but you could highlight the humanitarian aspect of this work more. We should encourage people to understand how supporting free solutions helps the disadvantaged, or could help the disadvantaged if people were able to step out of their herd-like Windows mentalities. Moo. One important part of GNOME is the GNOME Community, and I think these humanitarian aspects helps to make people understand that community as being more than something just technical, or a way for business to reduce the bottom line.

To promote Friends of GNOME, I'd like to have a slide available that people can put at the end of any GNOME presentation they do. (Voluntarily, of course.) I'd like to have a couple of fun options for people to choose from. Typically, I think these are best created in a brainstorming session, but as that's hard to do over a mailing list, I thought I'd come up with a couple and throw them out there. Anybody like creating fun slides want to join in? Or just give your feedback on these? (Obviously they are not polished - I meant them more as ideas.) I put my ideas in a pdf http://live.gnome.org/action/AttachFile/GnomeMarketing/TalkingPoints, attachment:FriendsOfGNOME.pdf.
