Hi all! We had a marketing meeting on a conference call today, with a few also participating on IRC (mostly Xan, and Fabiana & Andreas Nilson who had problems with connections -if I missed anyone sorry!!). Deindre also participated - I think both on the phone & IRC though I'm not 100% on that :) These are my notes/minutes from the meeting. If anyone else has stuff to add please do so!
Introductions: Sririam Ramkrishna Karen Sandler Emily Gonyer Oliver Propst Allan Day Fabiana Simões Seif Lotfy (mid meeting) Friends of GNOME: Olivier: Web/Webkit Pros: Web is very important today, and our in-house browser could use some love. Web applications are becoming more important, and making people excited about us via a great in-house browser could be a boost. Cons: Webkit2 features - relating to privacy/security how to tie into a broader campaign? Difficultly getting our message across without a lengthy period of figuring out our message. Emily: Privacy/Security Pros: Buzz creation, something different and important to virtually everyone Cons: how to implement privacy and security in gnome design Seif: Usability Pros: user involvement, online buzz, we care about users. Cons: it would be better to do at a later date for various reasons - Tentative agreement for Karen to reach out to the Tor Project (https://www.torproject.org) and others for a campaign related to Privacy and Security. We're also hoping to have bi-weekly meetings going forward, as we all thought this one went well. Emily -- Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. - Goethe Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. - Dr.Seuss Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. - Albert Einstein -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
