The idea of using standard questions was that it is easy to manage and we would quickly get a lot of material for future publishing. I'm not opposed to have specific questions but it will make things a bit more complicated. Can we ask one or two specific questions in every interview or is that to weird? Otherwise we have to do separate interviews which means more work, a slower work process, a non standard format, is it worth it? Besides I think it can be interesting to read how different organizations/companies answer the same questions. > We may have better access to this kind of information than the advisory > board rep, if they weren't the company's rep from the beginning.

Well I don't see a contraction there, we can have both =) I think of the interviews as a bonus that the reader would get with every edition of the GNOME journal. >> Seeing as winners is important. > People love winners :-). Part of the reason that interviewing the advisory board is interesting it's because the members are successful. It would be an opportunity to recognize that successful organizations/companies support GNOME and get an insight about why and which role GNOME have in their (successful) organization/company. -- -Mvh Oliver Propst -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
