Hi Brian and all, I am working on the GNOME quarterly report for about one year, this sounds like a good idea to combine the GNOME Journal and GNOME Quarterly report. I am happy to work with GNOME Journal team to make things forward. How does everyone think about this idea?
This sounds like a great idea. Who is working on GNOME Journal these days? I suspect that those people who normally work on GNOME Journal are probably busy helping on the 2010-2011 Bi-Annual Report. This Bi-Annual Report is the 1st glossy product of the GNOME Marketing team since the GNOME 3.0 launch. So, it would not surprise me to hear that GNOME Journal and/or the Quarterly Reports might be on of lower priority until the Bi-Annual Report is completed. That said, it still does sound like there should be more discussion and coordination between the Quarterly Report, Annual Report, and GNOME Journal people. Perhaps this could be a topic of an upcoming Marketing team IRC meeting? Also, a few months ago the GNOME Marketing Team was discussing having a hackfest, but there has been no discussion recently. There sure does seem to be a lot of work that would justify getting key GNOME marketing people together to push forward on these and other activities. Brian
2012/1/5 Brian Cameron <brian.came...@oracle.com <mailto:brian.came...@oracle.com>> Emily: I very much agree that the GNOME Journal and Quarterly Reports should be combined. I think it would make sense for the combined thing to continue as GNOME Journal and just stop doing Quarterly Reports. The Quarterly Reports have been useful tools in helping to make the Annual Report, so perhaps GNOME Journal could be enhanced to cover these topics instead of having a separate Quarterly Report. Also, it would be nice if we had a periodical that was a bit more focused on being something to share with the GNOME User's Groups. I think adding the "User Group Report" to the latest Quarterly Reports was an effort at providing more periodic information about what is going on in the GNOME User Group community. However, I suspect we could do more to make the GNOME Journal something that focuses on GNOME User's Groups as an important topic and audience.

As a result, I can't help but to wonder if we could somehow combine the future Quarterly reports with the GNOME journal in some way, thereby giving them more publicity. Perhaps ask folks to write about what they/their project are doing for the GNOME Journal and then we could summarize that into the quarterly report along with more bare-bones facts for the board/donors/etc? Also, any status report on the movement of GNOME Journal to gnome.org <http://gnome.org> <http://gnome.org> servers? Emily -- Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
