I guess that means it's too late for content changes, but just in case
it's not, I'd add the locations for the events in "Other conferences"
on page 13:
"staffed a booth at Fosdem (Brussels, Belgium), JDLL (Lyon, France),
and FSCONS (Gothenburg, Sweden). We also sent
representatives to SXSW (Austin, Texas), DebConf14 (Portland, Oregan,
and FOSSASIA (Phnom Penh, Cambodia)."

Also I don't see why FOSDEM isn't spelled in caps here.

I agree that it's good to encourage new contacts to follow us on
Twitter, Facebook and G+ and so on. However, I'm uncertain about
recommending them as a means of contacting the project - which is what
business cards are generally for.

Re: business cards..

[Sriram Ramkrishna]

That's the thing (sorry for top posting, Android inbox bug) most of us are
used to the tools in free software.  Mailing lists are not common at all to
the vast majority of users.

I used twitter because the contact is passive and some thing for them to
follow for news, not necessarily to ask questions.

If we want to do two way communication then we should monitor a hashtag
like #gnomenewcommers or something like that.

I really think that having an email address is a good idea. I want to talk
about onboarding more in the future, but I personally found that having the
default intro to GNOME be mailing lists and IRC channels is intimidating.

Hey Nuritzi!

Thanks for starting this discussion - it's an important one to have.

I'll be honest here - I've been trying to step away from the social
media side of things recently. I'm happy to support contributors, but
I'd prefer not to have an oversight role.

According to the wiki [1], there are only three accounts with
passwords. I suspect that Twitter's the only one that people are
generally interested in? (Each account with a password is registered
to an email address that GNOME owns, so we do have centralised control
over them.)

When I've done GNOME's social media in the past, I've tried to build
up excitement about each release, by posted about relevant events in
the run up. Things that can included here:

 * Development releases (such as the beta release)
 * Links to blog posts about features that are coming in the release
 * General posts like "we're hard at work putting the finishing
touches to 3.18" or whatever

It would be great if channel owners could do some of that!

I'm happy to manage announcements on release day, and to coordinate
with the release team. It would be great if each channel owner could
draft a release announcement, and be on IRC during the afternoon (UTC)
on Wednesday (the 23rd) so that we can coordinate when to post them.
If you can't be around at that time, perhaps you could draft the
announcement and pass it on so that I can post it?

The order of steps documented on the wiki [2], in the "release
announcement" section. Does that have enough information?

It's just a Google calendar that's been shared around - I've added you!

Thanks Flavia!

Sri's asked me about the contact details on the cards, suggesting that
we use Twitter and a generic i...@gnome.org email address, and
pointing out that people outside of open source might not be familiar
with mailing lists. It would be good to discuss this!

For individual's business cards, contact details seem fairly
straightforward: each individual can decide what they want on there.

For teams it is indeed a bit trickier, since our primary team
communication channels will sometimes be unknown to some people. IRC
is particularly obscure, and we might want to think about whether to
include that. However, mailing lists do seem OK to me: you don't have
to be signed up to send a mail to a list (provided that it has an
active moderator). Mailing lists have the advantage that they are
usually actively monitored.

I'd be nervous about using Twitter as a contact mechanism, since I'm
not sure we check @gnome for incoming messages, or that enough of the
right people are monitoring.

Likewise, if we had i...@gnome.org it would need to be actively
monitored. We already have gnome-press-cont...@gnome.org, which is
similar, and we haven't always done a great job of keeping on top of
it.

Thanks for pointing out. Builder isn't quite following the release 
schedule and it wasn't available when 3.16 was released, hence I think 
it's fine that it's included this time around.

Not sure I understand what feature that is. Is it in the release notes?

I'll see tomorrow if we can get a live image spinned up - if we can't 
I'll simply cut that part out of the video. Thanks for bringing this up.



 Also, it would have been nice to

That's unfortunately too late to do something about.

I think email is something universal and think that redirecting it to the
engagement list is a good way to start. It would be great to collect stats
on interest levels and better understand how we can engage newcomers. It'll
be a great way to measure impact of events we participate in, and in
general, engagement team efforts.

How can we best coordinate the effort of responding? I think this will
partly be a learn-as-you-go thing, because part of our process will depend
on the amount of newcomers we receive. I also think we can prepare
ourselves by having a spreadsheet somewhere, or some way of tracking all
inquiries so that we 1) know who is taking care of each newcomer, 2)
measure how much a response we are getting and if it's linked to any
particular event, 3) understand which areas newcomers are interested in
joining, and in general learn more about how they hope to contribute.

It looks fantastic! I really love the style.

Two small things - you mention a live image at the end, but I'm not
