Maybe Tobias Mueller idea of Privacy > and Security can be this super feature. I think Juanjo has a point. The a11y campaign was not only successful financially but also in raising awareness for an important issue. While this isn't a requirement for a campaign, we should think a way to best couch whatever we choose to do. Perhaps we could do that for the Web too. Part of the reason that Privacy/Security came up was because of some of the ideological discussion we had at GUADEC. So this is a more natural fit. However, if there's no one to drive that campaign it may be better to do something else this time. Whichever campaign we do, we should make a decision quickly so we can launch before the holiday season. Should we have a meeting to discuss this? Perhaps next week? I could even set up a conference line so we can hear each other :) karen > Just my two cents, > > -- Juanjo Marin > > > >>1. https://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/Roadmap/3.8 >>2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2VALT-DMGU&feature=plcp >>3. >> https://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2011-December/msg00030.html >>4. >> https://docs.google.com/document/d/19V52k7L75MII6lcuxQtp-9uQxvxckdUIWUis4jXVp8k/edit# >>-- >>-mvh Oliver Propst >>-- >>marketing-list mailing list >>[email protected] >>https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list >> >> >> > -- > marketing-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list > -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
