Hi Allan and all, I would like to continue our discuss about a possible photo gallery or Photo competition for GNOME 3.0 launch parties.
Currently, we use the official tag *#gnome3parties* for photos, and we encourage every party to blog / tag pictures, send their blog links / uploaded picture links to gugmasters-list(at)gnome(dot). Besides this, are we going to have the best photo competition? A prize for the best photographer could be a T-shirt? I cc: AgustÃn [email protected], since today he asked me about how to work with photos. -Emily The official tag has been announced, which is *#gnome3parties*, I already informed all the party organizers by email as well. We asked them to blog / tag pictures, send their blog links / uploaded picture links to me or to gugmasters-list(at)gnome(dot) org. We will publish those event pictures and blog links in the gnome3.orgwebsite to share with everybody. 2011/2/11 Allan Day <[email protected]> > Dave Neary wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Pockey & Fred are doing a really amazing job with the 3.0 release party > > drive - it is quite astonishing to see the number of parties sprouting > > up around the world!
