Re: 3.24 headline features

Hi all,

I've started looking at the release notes for the upcoming 3.24 
release. Currently, I'm thinking of the following structure for the 
"for users" section:


Headline features (each with an image):


 • Updated icons


I haven't seen these, so I don't know how big the changes are, but maybe 
these should be grouped together with the typography changes below.

It's good, but not groundbreaking, polish.



Bullet list of smaller things:

 • Improved Wacom graphics tablet settings


Does this maybe belong better together with the other system settings above?




It's possibly slightly too many features for one page. In the past we 
used to split them into two pages, but I quite like having one page, 
and I'm not sure we have quite enough content for two pages.


Yeah, I think one page works best. Killing one or two of the headline 
features would make it smaller.

despite following @gnome, I hadn't seen any of our recent posts.


This got me thinking about the times that we tweet. It's so easy to 
miss a tweet, and tweeting at certain times will obviously reach some 
time zones more than others. If you search the web, there's plenty of 
advice about this. Repeating tweets on different days and at different 
times is recommended as a way of increasing readership and reaching 
different time zones.


Is there an easy way to track visibility, impact etc. of twitter posts? 
Apart from the obvious counting the number of favs and retweets?

Looks awesome!
The tiniest of details, but in the news section, each header is closer 
to the news item above it, than it is to the summary below.
The reason that it works like that on the current page is because the 
column layout makes headers break into two lines easily. Short headers 
fit on one line, but that made the summary text not line up.
These restrictions doesn't exist when each news items fills the whole 
width, so you can bring the summary and header closer together.

I can probably dig up the archives with a bit of time.

In 2011 gnome.org looked like this: 
http://web.archive.org/web/20110427203703/http://www.gnome.org/?
While foundation.gnome.org looked like this: 
http://web.archive.org/web/20110728095324/http://foundation.gnome.org/
So with the move, not only the look and feel was made consistent, but 
the navigation got harmonized, and the foundation part of the site got 
more integrated with the rest of the website.


According to the website stats over the last year, 0.7 of all visitors 
to the gnome.org front page went straight to the foundation page. [1]

Not much, but at least some.

Oh, I thought I posted it on this mailing list..

Here it is again:

Returned from GUADEC and again it was a wonderful time. Big kudos to 
the organizing team putting together a great conference!  For me to 
meet everyone is such a adrenaline rush, and I always feel so pumped 
when I come back.


Speaking of conferences, I spent a lot of time volunteering to 
understand the mechanics of running a local conference since you know, 
I have one of my own that is coming up in a few short weeks.  Libre 
Application Summit presented by GNOME or LAS GNOME conference.


To say that starting a new conference with a new purpose is hard is an 
understatement.  It is incredibly difficult to put a formal conference 
together.  We did West Coast Summit for two years to make sure that 
this conference idea works. Huge kudos to openSUSE for giving the 
initial funding for this conference and taking a chance on my idea and 
vision of where I wanted to take this conference.  I will say the same 
for the board as well for enthusiastically embracing LAS GNOME and the 
concepts behind it.


We live in a world of changing demographics and as a project we need 
to adapt to them.  LAS GNOME is an attempt to show the world that 
desktops matter in this new world of containers, cloud, and consumer 
devices.  No longer will we placidly write software and release them, 
but instead we are going to lead.  With nearly 20 years of experience 
writing desktop software and plumbing, we are at parity with Windows 
and OSX.


LAS GNOME has two main goals - 1) Outreach to companies, government, 
and organizations and build relationships with them and have them 
guide our efforts in building an application market based on the Linux 
kernel. 2) Outreach internally to the kernel, userspace maintainers, 
and existing application organizations like Mozilla and Open Document 
Foundation and help improve the application story by improving the OS 
and creating the kind of conditions that would create a measurable 
application market for devices running the Linux kernel.


Here is the thing - people, companies and organizations should know 
about desktop projects.  We are the user space engineers of the Linux 
operating system.  KDE created khtml which turned into WebKit and is 
now Blink and now one of the most popular webapp framework today.  
GNOME's influence can be seen in dbus, systemd, logind, gstreamer, 
pulseaudio and various other core pieces of userspace.  See 
http://www.gnome.org/technologies. Moving forward, flatpak is here and 
that too will have influence on how we think of applications today.  
The fact of the matter is, anything that gets put forth on a desktop 
project is going to be in every Linux based operating system out 
there.  Nobody has more clout than we (desktop projects) do in what 
goes into a distribution.  Do not underestimate our worth.


LAS GNOME will be in Portland, Oregon - Sept 19-23rd at the Eliot 
Center.  The schedule is finalized except some tweaks here and there 
and now working on some great BoFs on open source marketing, linux 
graphics drivers, OpenQA/OBS, flatpak enabling/workshop, and hopefully 
a string of others on in the plans.  Companies and individuals can 
expect a week of being able to talk with everyone across the Linux 
eco-system and understand how to get started in a single place.


I also want to thank everyone who have been working so hard on this 
conference.  We've overcome so many obstacles and continue to overcome 
them as they arrive.


Finally, I want to thank the Foundation for sponsoring me to GUADEC 
and allowing me to network with my community about LAS GNOME.

*Title: Red Hat Donates Servers to The GNOME Project*

ORINDA CA. The GNOME Project thanks Red Hat for their recent donation 
of two new servers. The donation is part of a wider plan aiming to 
consolidate the location of the various GNOME hosts around the globe 
into one single datacenter. This will help ease day-to-day operations 
and reduce intervention time in the case of network disruptions or 
outages.


The donated hardware each has 128GB of RAM and 48 Cores. One has a 
main I/O device and is an Enterprise SSD made for high throughput. It 
will greatly enable running services like build.gnome.org 
 and sdk.gnome.org .


Once again, the GNOME Project thanks Red Hat for their continued 
sponsorship of servers, internet bandwidth, and local hardware-related 
IT support.

This uses the GNOME Foundation and the GNOME Project in 3rd person.
Later it switches to "We" (without properly introducing who We is) and 
uses this for the majority of the text, to then switch back to the 3rd 
person at the end of the text again.



This machine is already being hosted in the Red Hat Phoenix datacenter 
where other GNOME servers are located.


It's possible to cut "being" out of the last paragraph I think.



*Codethink & Endless*

Paul Sherwood from Codethink reached out to us offering us several 
blades at Codethink’s HP Moonshot system hosted by them in the UK. 
Endless is sponsoring a project with Codethink to use this hardware to 
make xdg-app runtime, SDK and app builds for ARM.




"on Codethink's HP Moonshot system"


*Qualcomm*

Manik Taneja and Victor Ruiz from Canonical reached out to Ketal 
Gandhi at Qualcomm about GNOME’s need for ARM hardware. Gandhi was 
able to have Qualcomm donate four Dragonboard 410c Single Board 
Computers from the 96boards project. These boards will provide a great 
platform for application developers who want to test their apps in ARM.


*Other Offers*

The Foundation would like to give its thanks to several other people 
who offered help:


– Arc Riley who kindly offered rack space

– Michael Larabel from Phoronix who offered a lot of unused PandaBoards

– Kevin Fenzi from Fedora who offered hardware from the Fedora 
infrastructure


– Mikael Frykholm from Tranquillity Hosting offering us rack space

– David Tischler from miniNodes.com offering to buy Raspberry Pi 3s 
for us if needed




needs to use "offered" consistently. Mixes "offered" and "offering" now.


– Yann Leger from scaleway.com  who committed to 
offering ARM servers in the future




"Committed to offer" I think


ARM support will be added initially to the sdk.gnome.org 
 initiative where binary releases of the GNOME 
platform and applications will be built. End-users and developers can 
use the results on a wide variety of Linux systems, running inside 
xdg-app sandboxes. Later, the GNOME project also hopes to add ARM 
support to the GNOME Continuous project, so that the latest 
development versions of the whole GNOME desktop will also be built and 
tested on ARM systems.




"also be" can be cut.

I used deductible since it might only be for a certain percentage, or 
have a max amount, depending on the country.
I realize working on the texts over e-mail might be a bit cumbersome, so 
I dumped some simplifications here

Is this valid only for the US? Or also in other parts of the world?

This is how gov.uk [1] phrases it:
"Donations by individuals to charity or to community amateur sports 
clubs (CASCs) are tax free. This is called tax relief."


And American Red Cross [2]:
"$10.00 is the minimum online donation. All donations are tax deductible."

The most relevant new feature is the availability of nightly apps

they require the command line to install, so are somewhat
technical. In general I don't like selling user features if they
require a terminal! 



I was under the impression that it was possible to install xdg-apps in 
Software. Or do you mean that you need a terminal in order to set up the

There is also the ability to build as xdg-app in Builder, and that has a 
bit of UI. More a developer thing though. Could have all the XDG stuff

Not sure if this is the right time or not, but it might be worth 
considering.
A while ago live.gnome.org got renamed wiki.gnome.org and more recently 
"GNOME Love" got renamed "GNOME Newcomers". Names that are more straight 
to the point.
Maybe it's time to get the lingo out of "Friends of GNOME" and just call 
it "Monthly donations". I don't have a super-strong opinion on it, but 
it's worth a thought.


As a sidenote, for the "Click here for _not_ listing me" and "Click here 
to _not_ getting e-mails" on the monthly donation page. These could 
checked by default and say "List me in the members page" in the first 
and cut out "If you don't want these e-mails, check here" from the 
second. That way you don't enable something to disable it and you can 
cut out some words. It's also the more common pattern for these kind of 
things.

Hi everyone,

I like these changes.
One thing that struck me is that there is a lot of content to shift 
through before getting to the donate buttons.
Might be worth a shot to flip the order of "Ways to donate" and "How 
donations help GNOME". Ideally, the text at the top of the page is 
convincing enough, but for those who don't find it convincing enough, 
they can see the header of the part with more explanation on how the 
money is being used.



Some of the texts are indeed very long. Took a stab at shortening them a 
bit. Might be a bit too short now, but I tried to take it to the core. 
Probably less critical to keep them short if we flip the order of the 
two sections I mentioned above.


"Hackfests
These are events when GNOME contributors get together to work on 
specific parts of GNOME.
In 2015, GNOME sponsored XXX contributors to attend XX hackfests thanks 
to donations to the project."


"Conferences
These are events where GNOME contributors are able to get together, 
share experiences, and decide on the direction of the project.
In 2015, donations helped sponsor XXX to attend GNOME conferences in 
Europe, North America, South America and Asia."


"Infrastructure
GNOME could not operate without it's development infrastructure. These 
systems require a lot of time and effort to keep running and to improve 
them over time."

It would be nice to visually distinguish this report from last
year's, possibly by changing the colours used on the cover?

Out of curiosity, I looked into how the current Scribus file for the
report is done, and it looks like this would be a non-trivial amount of
work. To my surprise, the tessellated triangles that form the cover and
back pages' background are not some diagonal line trickery nor are they
a single solid object (ex: a SVG made with Inkscape): they actually are
true geometric objects made directly in Scribus and controlled
individually. Every triangle. All on the same layer (but grouped). Wow!
That must have taken quite a bit of time to create, otherwise I'm very
curious to hear what speedhack/technique was used.


It's this file: 
https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/blob/master/annual-report-2014/cover.svg

Since it's vectors, Scribus can also edit it after import.




Granted, since those are solid colors and Scribus works with a set
palette, it might not be impossible to change them (but if you change
one, you ought to adjust most if not all of them). Perhaps a speedhack
would be to swap colors "in palette" instead of touching the objects.


It's green now. Not super-excellent, but more or less what I had time for.

- 3rd paragraph: "Family" is capitalized, is that intentional?

out the "reliab"


17
- update the Collabora logo
- I believe SFLC was no longer listed on the foundation pages in 2014
- Year should be 2014, not 2013

18-20

Linux Foundation is an entity which organizes many events. You fail to

Ah, I think I was a bit unclear. Let me distill my thoughts:

- The current contents of the GNOME3 page are great, shouldn't go away;

I disagree.  I think it's time to retire it.  In fact, I'm much more
interested in focusing on our mission and less on the UX.  To make
that emotional connection with people, I'd like to see more about the
things we do, and the things we support.  I like to showcase our
support for privacy, our support for software freedom, and our support
for equality and ethics.  Those are things that we have in common with
so many other organizations and people.  Using GNOME means not only
using utilitarian and ethical software, but you're joining a community
that has the same values as you.


I would be very careful with removing the product page.  It is the 
outcome of what we do. The thing you can touch.

It would be a severe step back to remove it.

I see the different sections as:
* What we do - GNOME 3 page (+ a future technologies page)
* Why we do it - About us
* How we do it - Get involved/Foundation

I don't think cutting off What we do from that formula would help 
much. Making Why we do it better is much more efficient.
In addition, things like privacy, where it touches on the product 
(privacy controls, future sandboxing etc) can be highlighted on the 
product page.

GNOME Event box and FOSDEM

[Andreas Nilsson]

So the event box is currently in my basement after we successfully used 
it at FSCONS in November.
The plan is to take it down to Brussels for FOSDEM, but Fabiana and 
myself will only arrive to Brussels on Saturday midday.
Fortunately Mattias Bengtsson have volunteered to bring it down on 
Friday, so it should be ready for setting up the booth on Saturday 
morning at 09:00.
There is still some need to man the booth. Sunday afternoon is still 
empty. Would be good have at least 2 people at any time. Please sign up 
if you're able to help!

https://wiki.gnome.org/Events/FOSDEM/2015/Stand

There is also an open question what we'll do with the box after the 
event. Who's able to take it? What is the next big event where it will 
be used?

Time to retire the Applications page?

[Andreas Nilsson]

I recently took some time to make the GNOME website look good on HiDPI 
monitors bug [1] branch [2]
One of the pages on the main website I didn't fix yet though was the 
Applications page [3], and I'm not sure certain it's worth the effort.
When the Application page was first created, I had this idea of 
showcasing a good selection of GNOME apps and that these would be 
rotated on a somewhat regular schedule. The rotating didn't happen and 
I'm not sure the current selection are the best showcases for our 
platform. Some of the apps are still stuck on GTK2 (both GIMP and 
Inkscape are unfortunately currently unusable on the same hidpi screen 
that I wanted the website to work on due to that reason).


At the same time, GNOME Software now allows us to highlight the best 
free software out there _and_ allow people to actually easy install them!


Several people have suggested just retiring the Applications page in 
it's current form, and possibly try to highlight the new core 
applications elsewhere on the website.


Unless anyone have good arguments for keeping it, I'll take the page 
down before the end of the week.

Thanks!

Hi!
Here is wip for the annual report: 
https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/raw/master/annual-report-2014/GAR2013.pdf


I'm going on vacation tomorrow and won't be back until the 16th. I plan

It would be good if all text had been reviewed/edited until then, since 
I won't have time to work on this between the 18th and GUADEC.


If anyone wants to take a stab at editing the document, here is the 
scribus source file: 
https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/blob/master/annual-report-2014/GAR2013.sla


Help with what photos to use is also highly appreciated.

I will work with whatever files are sent to me or are in the wiki by the 
16th. After that we are out of time to make any changes. Really.

Hi Alex!
Traditionally this have been done by the treasurer of the Foundation. 
This position is currently held by Ekaterina Gerasimova.

To get an idea what this looks like, see page 17 of last years report:
http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GAR2012-web.pdf

Basically it's a table with some numbers and a shorter report on changes 
in incomes and expenses compared to last year.

I think it's best for the treasurer to do it this time around as well.

I think we also talked about increasing the default amount for the AaH from 10
