Re: openSUSE.Asia summit 2019

Ok it looks like, unfortunately, there won’t be a GNOME booth there this year, 
but there will definitely be GNOME people attending. Rosanna said she’ll bring 
some stickers.

Hi Shobha!

I'm not sure if we have a booth there. I can reach out to Siska and Kukuh,
who may know.

Let me poke around and I'll try to get back to you asap.

Re: Brief interviews with gnome contributors

+1... we've been meaning to do more of that but have lacked the people
power, so I think it's GREAT that you'd like to do some! :)

New GitLab Hierarchy Proposal

[Nuritzi Sanchez via engagement-list]

Hi All,

We have brainstormed a number of small changes to the existing GitLab
hierarchy that we think will improve our long-term community growth on
GitLab by making it easier for teams and new users to navigate.

Our proposal aims to give teams more control over the organization of their
projects without compromising the security of other projects.

The bulk of the changes affect the Engagement team because of changes to
the way we define the "Community" group.

Before making any changes, we'd like to get feedback from stakeholders and
community members. We aim to make any changes within the next month.

If you're interested in this issue, please chime in on:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/GitLab/issues/294

Thanks!

Best,
Nuritzi

I think that as long as you add some information to the "Getting In Touch

Engagement's Getting Involved page
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/GettingInvolved>, then we should be ok.

I'm not sure about this. Maybe someone else can help answer this question.

Fwd: instal party 9

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi Merzoug,

Thanks for reaching out!

This seems like something that GNOME's Engagement team might be interested
in helping with. What are the relevant dates for the event? Also, how long
are you hoping the videos will be? It'd be great to have more information
in case someone has more time to help.

Best,
Nuritzi

Hello!
My name is Merzoug mahfoud.I'm a member of a scientific club, Open Minds
Club, based in the University of sciences and technology of Houari
Boumediene in Algiers, Algeria.
Our goal is to promote the Free and Open Source philosophy and share our
knowledge with others through events and trainings.
Each year we organize an install party to gather the FOS community and
familiarize people with the concept. Talks, workshops, stands, and it goes
without saying... installations.
We would like to ask for a small explanatory clip where you explain the
open source concept and the achievements of the community, may it be in a
professional context or as a benevolent contribution.
Any further help would be highly appreciated.
More details about the event are linked in the file below if you're
interested.
Waiting for a positive response.

Good point. I changed the language in two places (in bold) to help with

How much can I request?

Let me know if you have suggestions for alternate wording, or if you see

Right now, we are barely able to take notes. It would be great to have

I'm not sure how this happened since I didn't manually name it "marketing
list." Anyway, I've changed it.

Yes, but this requires a workflow adjustment too.

Don't worry, it wasn't invisible / your eyes aren't going bad. Last week I
didn't include one but forgot to remove that line from the template I
normally use it.

Yeah, that reflects the fact that we don't have a secretary or anyone who
has volunteered to help us with notes. As mentioned above, we've barely
managed to take notes. Again, if someone wants to volunteer to help with
this, that'd be awesome!

This is because our note-taking and publishing process is broken due to a
lack of manpower. Ideally, we would translate the notes to GitLab tasks and
send an email with the meeting notes, then archive the old notes each week.
Since we don't have someone who can help with this, the next best thing is
to keep the notes until someone can devote enough time to do it... even if
that's once a month or even less frequently.

Re: Feedback Needed | GNOME-Related Small Event Ideas and Resources

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

I've update the small events wiki page (
https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Events#Budget) to make a more flexible
budget. I'm not sure how to tie it both to the number or participants and
geographic location, so I just added that as something organizers should
keep in mind when making their request.

I used my recent experience in Indonesia as an example for how a request
might vary depending on where the event is organized, but if anyone has
suggestions on a better example, please let me know!

Here's the new text:

*How much can I request? *
Each request will be processed on a case-by-case basis, so please tell us
how much you think you'll need and why. To set expectations, we hope most
event organizers will request under $100 USD, since our funds are limited,
but we will consider each request.

The amount you request should depend on the number of people attending, and
how much things cost in your geographic region. For example, it might cost
$10 for snacks for 10 people in Indonesia, but $30 in the US.


Does anyone have any additional suggestions for the budget section or any
other part of the small events page?

Feedback Needed | GNOME-Related Small Event Ideas and Resources

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi all,

Carlos Soriano and I have been working on a wiki page to help people plan
small events in their area and access resources: GNOME-Related Events
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Events> [1]. Thanks to a recent budget
allocation from the Board, we now have some money for small events, so
we've included information on how to access those funds too.

Please take a look at the wiki page and let me know if you have any
questions or comments about it. I'd love to give this list a chance to send
feedback before we send it to foundation-list. I'll also add this page to
tomorrow's Engagement team agenda in case anyone has further thoughts then.

Thank you!

Best,
Nuritzi

Re: [Debconf2018] I want to participate in Debconf2018 with GNOME Engagement Team.

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi DaeHyun,

We talked about this at the last Engagement meeting and think it's great
that you want to go to this and represent GNOME!!

For the travel sponsorship, you'll need to follow the guide here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Travel/Request, in order to request travel
sponsorship. I'm sure someone can help guide you through the application or
answer any questions you may have. You can always jump on #engagement on
IRC and ask there, or just email me or anyone else you know on Engagement.

Are you going to set up a GNOME booth at the conference or plan any
activities for it? We have some GNOME SWAG and print-outs that could be
cool to have. It'd be great to know what you think could be helpful for the
conference!

Best,
Nuritzi

If you want to chat before the call, just email or ping me on IRC: @nuritzi.

We look forward to meeting you!

hour before the team call since it will take around 15 - 30 minutes to set

help setting up a native client.*

Re: FOSSASIA Summit 2018

Hey Shobha,

Just saw this! I don't know if anyone is planning on going. Do they usually
give a GNOME booth to us, or would we have to pay for it? If you can look
into that, it'd be much appreciated!

We're thinking of opening up issues on GitLab for things like this. Are you
on GitLab? It'd be great to have you on the Engagement board!

Best,
Nuritzi

Re: Request for budget to update the event box contents

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi Kat,

The Board did a partial vote today on the updated expenses and you have
been approved up to an amount of $3,300 USD for the purchases you need to
make.

As mentioned before, please follow the process outlined here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Reimbursements, and send the completed
reimbursement template to me + Rosanna. I've taken your feedback on privacy
into consideration as we draft up the new rules for the budget holder for
this / the committee that will approve funds in the near future. Thanks
again for helping us find the areas where we need to tighten the process!

Best,
Nuritzi

The Board call is today and I've added the item to the agenda as well as
have highlighted the fact that your deadline is having the box ready and
shipped in time for the conference on March 24th. I would actually would
like their decision ASAP too since it'd be great to have the US travel box
ready in time for SCALE 16x on March 7th.

I've sent them a request of our total budget needs, and will try to field
any questions they have today. In case you're interested, here's a summary
of the total amount we are requesting based on previous Engagement team
calls about SWAG distribution centers and conferences:

Item Description Cost (USD)
Stickers 8 distribution centers $3,906.00
Shipping costs for stickers for local outreach Shipping can cost between
$10 and $25 $500.00
Conferences Supposing we have a budget of $500 for 10 conferences this year
$5,000.00
Travel box for Europe $3,300.00
Travel boxes for US $3,350.00
GNOME Socks for FOSDEM $1,314.00
MARKETING TOTAL $17,370.00

It's possible that the budget will only be partially approved. In that
case, I will do my best to request a partial approval for at least the
travel boxes, and in particular, the European one, so that you can make
your deadline.

Best,
Nuritzi

We can definitely add more! Just as an FYI, one of the problems we've faced
in the past is designing print-outs in the correct size for different
geographical locations. If you'd be interested in helping us create a few
new items for events we would love the help!

Yeah, we scheduled calls at that time so we could encourage our friends in
Asia to join. The time is still pretty terrible for them, and now is also
pretty bad for us on the West Coast of the US, so we may have to rethink
meeting times yet again. If the meeting time were to shift 30 minutes
later, would that help you join, or when would you generally be able to
join? Just curious :)

Also -- we are now using the Engagement team workboard on GitLab
 in order to
work together asynchronously. Let me know if you want to jump on a call
sometime and learn how to use it if you don't already know how to! Also,
feel free to send me your username and I can add you to the board.

There are a few issues at play: 1) we've tried to recover the box for
several years now (even before I joined the Engagement team), without
success; and 2) everything in the box is pretty old by now and would need a
serious refresh anyway. The Engagement team discussed this on a call a few
times and we would really like to create a new box if we move forward with
having a box in North America. One problem though is that we don't have a
designated place to store the box.

Endless donated a GNOME tablecloth last year that I have stored in SF and
can add to a North American travel box.

*@Sri *-- do you think System 76 has any extra storage space? :)
Unfortunately, the Endless office in SF doesn't have a lot of storage
space, so I would only be able to keep the small box with me.

I think it makes sense to have two boxes, a small one and a large one.
Noted: we should buy a sturdy box.

Unfortunately, someone else still has to check the reimbursement details

This request comes at a good time since we were planning on surfacing some
other budget requests this year for conferences and events (see our last
meeting notes https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/engagement-team-meetings).

We have been given a budget of $5,000 USD for marketing purposes, so we'll
need to request additional funds for this. Knowing about this request and
helping you process it will help us maintain travel boxes in the future.
For future budgeting purposes, how often do you have to replace items in
the travel box?

We had also thought about creating a travel box for the US at some point
since the one we had years ago got lost so it's really helpful to see how
much you're planning on spending for the European one.

By the way, what color banner are you planning on buying? Since the
Foundation color is green and the project color is blue, we have been
encouraging people to try to go for blue when getting banners and things
for booths. This isn't a formal policy of course and it'd be great to hear
your thoughts on this.

For print outs, we are trying to have more of a consistent brand. To help
with that we have these draft brand guidelines for designers:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/master/brand/style-guide.png
and
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/master/brand/style-examples.png

We also have some flyers people can print out here:
https://cloud.gnome.org/index.php/s/sKIAXUjmNYgI9rc in case you're
interested.

I'm the current budget holder, but we'll soon be making a committee to
handle requests moving forward so that it's not just one person.

Here are instructions for how to ask for reimbursement after you have made
the purchases: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Reimbursements.
Note: this page needs to be slightly updated, but is mostly correct. In
this case, you can send the reimbursement request to nuri...@gnome.org and
cc z...@gnome.org.

Ok, it looks like JDLL is in late March so we have about 1 - 2 weeks to get
this sorted out. Please keep us updated on any other relevant deadlines.

Thank you for doing all of this, Kat!

 Ok I see. While I don't see anything particularly with the decision to

wrong).


The post on the Engagement blog is a follow up to the campaign we ran in
December: https://twitter.com/gnome/status/940914200926355456. The article
on the Engagement blog includes a link to the fundraiser in two places, so
it's not just an interview.

For more context on the Engagement blog vs gnome.org article decision,
during Engagement calls, we talked about our broader fundraising strategy
and the fact that we don't want to detract donations from Friends of GNOME
in the future. We wanted to reserve gnome.org posts for things like Friends
of GNOME and other fudraisers that directly impact the Foundation. As a way
to still help people like pippin whose efforts are extremely important to
GNOME, we decided to do the interviews on the Engagement blog with links to
fundraising campaigns and also post about their campaigns using our
official GNOME social media accounts.

If you'd like to further discuss the strategy, feel free to add the agenda
item to our meeting etherpad and attend one of our Engagement meetings!

Ongoing Meeting Times | Tuesdays at 15:30 UTC

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi All,

Thank you all for voting on the best time for ongoing Engagement meetings.
According to the poll, the best time for ongoing meetings seems to be *Tuesdays
at 15:30 UTC*.

*Upcoming Holiday Schedule: *

   - *Next Meeting:* (tomorrow) Tuesday December 19th
   - No Meeting: Tuesday, December 26th
   - No Meeting: Tuesday, January 2nd
   - *Regular meetings starting*: Tuesday, January 9th

If we feel like we need a meeting the week of the 2nd, we can try to
schedule it -- so let me know if you guys have something urgent to discuss.

Happy holidays, everyone, and talk to you soon!

Best,
Nuritzi


About the new meeting time

I'm hoping that choosing 15:30 UTC will at least partially work with both
Anna and Rosanna's schedules. This would mean that Anna might be able to
join for the first 30 minutes and Rosanna the last 30 minutes. If this new
time means that neither of them join, we can tweak the schedule further to
improve it.

For those of you curious, here are the results of the poll:

VOTE | New meeting time for weekly Engagement Meeting

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi All,

This has been a long time in coming, but we'd like to chose a new time for
ongoing weekly meetings. We have more people involved from Asia this year
(woo hoo!), and we'd like to pick a time that is more inclusive of their
schedules.

*If you're interested in attending our weekly meetings, please indicate
your availability by the end of the day of Wednesday, December 13th:*
https://framadate.org/y5gqe72X9hbbYgvC

The new meeting time we select will be implemented the week of December
18th.

I know fitting in multiple time zones is hard, so let's try this out and
see if it works. Thanks in advance!

Best,
Nuritzi

Fwd: [Foundations] Net neutrality for FLOSS

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi Engagement team,

In the US, there is about to be a vote around net neutrality, and I wanted
to forward an email to this list that speaks to how the issue can affect
GNOME and other FLOSS projects. As a reminder, the GNOME Foundation itself
is a US-based non-profit.

The email below includes an article with ways you can take action for Net
Neutrality even outside of the US (http://www.fsf.org/blogs/
community/take-action-for-net-neutrality). Please take a look.

Should we promote this article on GNOME social media? It wouldn't be an
official statement, but we could say something like "Read about how Net
Neutrality might affect FLOSS projects like GNOME and how you can help
[insert link to article]."

Thoughts?

Best,
Nuritzi

Subject: [Foundations] Net neutrality for FLOSS
To: foundati...@lists.freedesktop.org


Hi!

With net neutrality in the United States being at such immediate risk,
we (at the FSF) have been talking about the relationship between net
neutrality and user freedom, free software projects, and organizations.

A significant number of project contributors live in the United
States.[1] That map is, admittedly, a little outdated, but it provides a
powerful (IMO) visual that demonstrates the sheer volume of
contributions that come out of the US. (Yeah, I know github isn't the
best dataset to try and capture a full picture, but it's an easy one. :P)

[1]: http://davidfischer.github.io/gdc2/#languages/All

Especially looking at ISP offerings of limited internet services (i.e.
lower user pricing for access to only certain websites/services) and
paid fast lanes for those hosting, we're looking at a serious threat to
people making their first contributions; starting, launching, and
sharing projects; the ongoing and growing success of projects and web
services; and our organizations as well.

If you haven't already, I hope you'll think about reaching out to your
members, communities, and people about the upcoming decision on whether
the FCC will gut the Title II classification that is the closest thing
we have to net neutrality protection in the US.

While I'm not sending this email as a representative of the FSF, I did
write this thing there[2], highlighting some of the actions people can take.

[2]: http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/take-action-for-net-neutrality

Cheers,
M.

Re: Project management software

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hey Sri, I was hoping to take a look at GitLab's kanban board since I
actually do think it could work for engagement and marketing and it could
then help people unfamiliar with that structure to be more comfortable in
participating in dev teams later on. At Endless, we've moved our marketing
and community teams to our kaban board tool (Phabricator).

Could we set up a test case? Maybe that's something we can look into
together at GNOME.Asia.

GNOME Beers with the Board in Berlin

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi All,

The GNOME Foundation Board will be meeting in Berlin this week (Oct 6 -
8th) for a hackfest <https://wiki.gnome.org/Hackfests/Foundation2017> [1]
to plan for the upcoming financial year. While we're there, we would love
to invite anyone in the area to join us for drinks on Saturday, October
7th.

We're aiming to hold the event at C-Base
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base> [2], one of the world's first
hackerspaces, and will update the wiki page referenced above as the time
draws nearer. I'm pasting the current event details below.

We hope to use #Engagement on IRC and the public GNOME Telegram group to
communicate with anyone interested in joining us closer to the time we are
there. If you're not part of the Telegram group and would like to be, let
us know.

See some of you in Berlin!

Best,
Nuritzi

[1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Hackfests/Foundation2017
[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base


GNOME Beers in Berlin

Come grab beers with us! We'll buy some pizzas and soft drinks, and there
will be beers available for purchase. Even if you don't drink beer, please
come.

   - When: Saturday, October 7th from 8 pm - 11 pm
   - Where: C-Base, Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin, Germany (We are trying to
   secure a "no smoking" room so that everyone can attend)

We'll update people via the *GNOME Telegram* group and also *#Engagement* on
IRC / Matrix closer to the event, so stay tuned.

*RSVP your interest:* Please help us plan by adding your name to the list
if you're thinking of joining. That way, we can order a good amount of
pizza. RSVP here: https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/gnome_beers_in_berlin_2017

Re: NOTES | Engagement Team BoF at GUADEC 2017 (action needed)

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hey Sri,

Actually, Michael is project managing it! He has already talked to Tom
about a banner and we have a backup if we can't get the migration docs on
time (they're being written by Ken and team). Basically, we plan on writing
a news post and linking to that in the banner if we don't have a wiki page
with the migration docs on it yet.

I'll include the latest notes from our Engagement meeting below for anyone
interested and please reach out to Michael, cc'd here, if you have any
questions or ideas for this!

Best,
Nuritzi


=== Ubuntu Migration ===
 * Ken is going to try to write this during the Ubuntu rally this upcoming
week
 * Got feedback from Tom about the banner we could have
 * Possible blocker is the documentation on our wiki
 * Backup plan: "Welcome Ubuntu Users!" (a news post with a few quotes from
project members)
 * ACTION: Write a news post (October 19th is the release date @Allan and
Nuritzi)
* Quotes: Neil, Mark / Jeremy, Will Cook
* ACTION: Michael to get quote from Mark/Jeremy and Will
* ACTION: Allan to get Neil's quote

Re: GNOME 3.26 Release Parties

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

As of now, we don't have any other accounts set up. We have thought about
using TransferWise <https://transferwise.com/> [1], but I doubt we'll have
this set up in time for this upcoming release party cycle.

It looks like TransferWise would work in Turkey, and in many of the
countries where we have local groups. Does anyone have experience using the
service? Apparently, TransferWise has low fees. *@Muhammet *- have you used
Payoneer or Skrill before and do you recommend those above others? We're
happy to consider other tools and it'd be helpful to know people's
experience using them.

I'm including more information about the larger challenge around payments
below. If anyone is interested in this topic, please email me or the Board
as we're having a Foundation hackfest
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Hackfests/Foundation2017> [2] in early October
around budgets, financial policies, etc, and we'd love your thoughts on
what's working well and what isn't so we can discuss and try to
problem-solve.

Thank you!

Best,
Nuritzi

Some context on payments

Here are the main problems we've had with sending small reimbursements so
far:

   - Bank transfer fees are heavy and paid by both the GNOME Foundation and
   usually also by recipients, depending on their bank's policies.

   - PayPal is not available in all of the countries where we have active
   groups. It still has steep fees for some countries.

   - We don't want to set up too many online payment accounts because of
   the overhead of managing them.

Because of these issues, it's been hard to reimburse local organizers for
small events. The PayPal solution has worked at least somewhat well for
groups in the past year, but it excludes people in Turkey, where we have an
active community.

We hear you Felipe, thank you for sending that and we will definitely take
it into consideration!

Another important consideration and requirement is that we need to have a
local team that can help with a lot of the planning. LAS is kind of like an
emerging GUADEC -- it's definitely not going to be as big yet, but
eventually we hope it will become as large or larger than GUADEC since it's
not just GNOME-centered.

James - I'll touch base with you to learn more about the space and local
team there. Thank you for the suggestion!

Is anyone else interested in helping to organize LAS at a local level?
Since Spring 2018 (~April) is not that far away, as far as
conference-planning goes, we really do need to keep up momentum on the
planning. Please let us know at las-gn...@gnome.org by next week if you're
even considering it. That way, we can connect with you further.

Thanks!

Best,
Nuritzi

LAS GNOME Update | Postponed until Spring 2018

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hello friends,

I'm writing to announce that, after a lot of consideration, we have decided
to postpone LAS GNOME from November 2017 to the Spring of 2018. We believe
that this will allow us to have a great conference that helps us meet some
updated goals around the libre application ecosystem, especially now that
we have launched Flathub and are gaining momentum on newcomers initiatives.

Below is more information on our wider proposal for what the *2018 Libre
Application Summit* should be and how it can fit in with regard to other
more GNOME-centered events.

If you have any questions, or are interested in becoming part of the
organizing team, please let us know!

Thanks, and we hope to send more updates about the upcoming Spring
iteration of LAS soon.

Best,
Nuritzi on behalf of the LAS organizing team


*The Libre Applicaiton Summit / LAS Strategy*
Since the long-term vision for the Libre Application Summit is that it
outgrows GNOME and becomes its own thing, with many ecosystem players
besides GNOME participating, we want to try to get rid of the "GNOME" part
of "LAS GNOME." This means we will start to refer to the conference simply
as the "Libre Application Summit," or "LAS."

We would like to incubate the Libre Application Summit within a North
American event for about 2 - 5 years. We believe this will help us get more
people to attend and provide enough volunteer manpower and GNOME-raised
funding to get LAS off its feet.

*Co-Hosting with a North American GNOME event*
With no formal GNOME-related conference in North America (where a number of
GNOME developers reside), it seems prudent to merge the concept of the
Boston/Montreal Summit and West Coast Summit into a single unitary GNOME
event in North America.

Last week on foundation-list, Allan proposed having something like a "North
American Summit" [1], and we think it's a great idea. However, we would
like to propose that the official name of that event have "GNOME" in the
title so that we can call it out as a GNOME-centered event.

We have come up with some ideas for the name of the event, and would love
help coming up with others. We are missing a clear vision for what the
North American event will become, which makes it harder to name it. We'll
circulate a separate email asking for help naming the event soon.

*Next Steps for LAS 2018*
We are planning an event for LAS 2018 organizers in a few weeks to keep the
ball rolling since the event is still just a few months away. The event
will most likely be the weekend of September 30 - October 1st in San
Francisco since most of the people interested in organizing LAS 2018 are
already in the SF Bay Area.

If you are interested in organizing LAS 2018 elsewhere in North America,
let us know ASAP so we can talk about next steps.

NOTES | Engagement Team BoF at GUADEC 2017 (action needed)

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi All,

Sorry this write-up is really late - it's taken a few weeks after GUADEC to
catch-up properly :) Here are our BoF notes from GUADEC
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TeamMeetings/31-July-2017> [1], complete
with next steps in as neat a fashion as we could muster them. Feel free to
keep tidying the page up or adding anything we missed.

*If you were at the BoF, please take a look at the notes so you remind
yourself which actions are yours.*

*The Plan*
Over the next few weeks, we'll be prioritizing and further breaking down
some of the projects that we talked about. If you're interested in working
on any of them, or have questions, please let us know.

Since there's so much to do, some of these projects may stay in the backlog
for now. If you're particularly passionate about one of the projects and
want to help push it along, we welcome your help!

The idea is that we will work in smaller groups, scheduling meetings as
needed to execute on the various projects. The weekly Engagement calls are
meant to help us all sync up on the various initiatives and plan the
overall strategy for our team's work.

*Weekly Engagement Calls*
We've kept the weekly Engagement Team calls on Fridays at 16:00, but are
totally open to moving them.

*@All *- If you'd like to be part of the regular calls but can't make them
now, can you please respond letting us know your interest and your location
/ time zone? We may have to get creative, but I'd love for us to be more
inclusive to those interested.

Thanks!

Best,
Nuritzi

p.s. Some of you may not have attended the BoF, but you'll find yourself in
our notes anyway (most likely in the action steps area) because we were
very ambitious and had wishful thinking. :)

Help us celebrate GNOME's 20th around the world!

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hello fellow GNOMEies,

GNOME's 20th Birthday is tomorrow, Tuesday, August 15th. This is a great
opportunity to celebrate together, show the world how awesome GNOME is, and
get people more excited than ever to join us or become a user. ;)

We will be posting a news item on the main gnome.org page, posting on
social media, and trying to get blogs to pick up the event -- but we need
your help!

If you are a member of the press, or know someone who is, please ask them
to write about us and publicize our news item [1] (this link should be
active on Aug 15th at 0:30 UTC), and/or our birthday website
<http://happybirthdaygnome.org/> [2] (this is live, but we aren't
publicizing it until the actual day).

If you are an amazing person, consider joining or hosting a birthday party
sometime in the next week or two! You always get extra GNOMEie points for
events that help us get new users or contributors -- but really all we're
asking for is to help us celebrate GNOME and bring awareness of its
awesomeness to your community any way you can. Find a party near you, or
list your own here: 20th Birthday Parties
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TargetedEvents/20th_birthday> [3]. We've
even set aside some funds to help party planners around the globe, so read
that page for more information.

If you have done anything GNOME-related and have taken photos, please share
them with us! Read our updated "How To Submit Photos to GNOME
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Photos/HowTo>"[4] wiki page and add your
photos from GNOME's past and present for all of us to enjoy. Remember to
respect people's privacy and make sure that the photos you take and share
are done so with the proper consent.

Lastly, if you have any other ideas for how to make GNOME's 20th birthday
special, please message the engagement team at engagement-list@gnome.org
and let us know.

Thanks, and happy early birthday, GNOME!

Best,
Nuritzi

Happy 20th Birthday, GNOME!

*ORINDA, CA.* Today, the GNOME Project proudly celebrates its 20th
Birthday. Founded by Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena Quintero on August
15, 1997, GNOME has since become a pillar of the Free Software community.

There have been 33 stable releases since the initial release of GNOME 1.0
in 1999. The latest stable release, GNOME 3.24 “Portland”
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z1PAXiyTB0> was well-received with
exciting new features like “night light”, to help put less strain on the
eyes, and the new GNOME Recipes application. GNOME 3.26 “Manchester,” is
scheduled to be released in mid-September of this year. With over 6,000
contributors, and 8 million lines of code, the GNOME Project continues to
thrive in its twentieth year.

Celebrate *Twenty Years Strong* with the GNOME Foundation: visit the 20th
Birthday Party
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TargetedEvents/20th_birthday> page to
find a party — or even start your own. You can also support GNOME by making
a donation <https://www.gnome.org/support-gnome/> or becoming a Friend of
GNOME <https://www.gnome.org/friends/>.

Enjoy a few of the many photographs from the 20th Birthday Party at this
year’s GUADEC, where co-founder Federico Mena Quintero celebrated his own
birthday alongside GNOME’s.

Happy 20th Birthday, GNOME!

DRAFT | News Item for 20th Birthday (pls read)

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi All,

In today's engagement meeting, we decided to create a news item to publish
on GNOME's birthday next Tuesday. This will be sent to bloggers and others
who will hopefully write about GNOME's milestone.

Can you guys take a look? I need to get permission for 2 of the 3 photos
(@Christian Hergert & Behdad). It would also be great if someone with
access to wordpress could help format the photos better - perhaps in a
gallery arrangement so that they aren't so huge.

Let me know if there are any corrections to be made! Thanks!

Best,
Nuritzi

Re: Help with GUADEC graphic design tasks

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hey Allan,

Some questions about the drink
<https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/blob/master/events/guadec/2017/anniversary-party/welcome-drink-token.pdf>
and admission
<https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/blob/master/events/guadec/2017/anniversary-party/birthday-party-ticket.pdf>
tickets:

   - How big should each of these be?
   - What is the grey square for? If it's for a QR code, is it required to
   be a certain size?
   - When are you printing these so that we know when to deliver final
   assets?

We're hoping to add the 20th birthday logo in and potentially change the
font a little. Kate was thinking of redesigning the ticket a little to make
it more readable if we're printing it small. Adding Kate here so she can
communicate directly :)

Thanks!

Best,
Nuritzi

Engagement Team Report

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi Engagement Team,

As most of you know, we have an opportunity of presenting a team report at
the Annual General Meeting <https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2017/AGM> (AGM)
[1] at GUADEC each year, and I'm writing to ask for your help thinking of
items we'd like to include.

*Context*
The Team Reports section of the AGM
<https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2017/AGM/TeamReports> [2] gives teams a
chance to share and celebrate accomplishment with the larger community, and
get people excited about joining specific teams.

It's also a chance to mention challenges teams may be facing, and / or
wishlist items, so that we the larger community can help and provide
support. The things highlighted during team reports can provide a great
point of discussion for the remaining AGM.

*How you can help*
Below are the highlights and challenges we brainstormed during the last
engagement team meeting. That list is in the Engagement Team report page
<https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2017/AGM/TeamReports/EngagementTeam> [3].
Please add to it, or respond directly to this email with your suggestions.

We also welcome any photos you have of your favorite engagement-related
activities this year! You can gather the photos you have into an online
album and then send a link to us.

It would be great to have some ideas and photos from GNOME Asia and GNOME
Hispano -- we really want to start to integrate with you all more. I know

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Best,
Nuritzi

[2] https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2017/AGM/TeamReports
[3] https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2017/AGM/TeamReports/EngagementTeam

Highlights

   -

   Newcomers initiative (Carlos & Bastian)
   -

   Website (gnome.org) & Wiki Refresh, events website template
   - Release Parties and budgets for them
   - SCALE 15x booth, targeted events page
   - SWAG Centers
   - Look into having numbers around social media engagement (current
   social media stats)
   - Note: Use our team report time to convince people to go represent us
   at local events and conferences

Challenges

   - Global integration: GNOME Engagement planning has been very US and
   European-centered. We'd love to support our international communities
   better and have more global integration and are starting projects around
   that, but we need help! How can we promote people who speak other languages?
   - Looking for social media and marketing folks!! (Thanks to Biraj for
   his recent assistance)
   - Are there efforts around Ubuntu's Unity / GNOME announcement? What
   does that mean for our community?
   - Design resources and materials to help designers get onboarded
   - Non-technical onboarding and local outreach support

Re: 20th Birthday Logo | Feedback needed

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Thanks, Jakub! I added your mockups to the folder dedicated to 20th
birthday logo explorations
<https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0BxT3JgrBDcz2Z3UwT3p6REh1S0U>,
along with some of the designs Carla made last year.

If anyone else has ideas they'd like to submit, please add them to that
folder or send them directly to me.

For those of you who couldn't attend the meeting today, here's what we
discussed re: this topic:


   - *Where will these designs be used?*: we want to use this design for
   t-shirts, stickers, and social media. We may also adapt the design for the
   trivia card we make for a newcomers activity.

   - *Design Notes:* We want to stick to an elegant design. In the past,
   we've had more "fun" designs, and the new direction is towards being
   elegant and classic. The following may be useful for anyone who is hoping
   to chime into help with this logo exploration:

Draft brand guidelines
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/master/brand/style-guide.png>
Sample designs

Source Sans Pro font <https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/source-sans-pro>


Best,
Nuritzi

p.s. I'll try to keep NextCloud folder
<https://cloud.gnome.org/index.php/apps/files/?dir=/Engagement%20Team%20-%20Work%20In%20Progress/20th%20Birthday%20Logos=96855>
synced up for those who can't access google drive.

If you're new to GNOME or the Engagement Team...
We'd love to have you join our meeting and get to know part of the team!

*To join the engagement team meeting*, make sure that you have an IRC
account and join the #engagement channel. IRC setup instructions are
here: Getting
In Touch <https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC>.

If you want to chat before the call, just email or ping me on IRC: @nuritzi.

*Make sure you know what time 16:00 UTC is in your timezone*. You can use Time
& Date <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html> [3] to help
you.

Good point. I'll see if she can join #engagement! 

Would you want to do a call as well, Allan? Eh, eh? :) So far nobody has 
offered to lead a high level chat, and I don't feel qualified to hold one on my 
own... though I'd be interested in listening in to what will be discussed. 

In the meantime, I'll relay the feedback we have so far. ___

I agree. I've asked for some flat versions.

Besides that, is there any version in there you like best so we can explore 
other iterations of it? 

Or, any new ideas to explore?

IIRC, putting them in own cloud makes them only accessible to people who have 
an account / are foundation members. I think there's a setting to make files 
public, but I'm not sure how to do it. I'll try to fiddle around with the 
settings once I have time. 

Once the assets are ready for use, I'll for sure use owncloud. For now, if 
anyone else has time to put these prototypes on owncloud, feel free. 

What I really need is quick feedback on these since the designer is working on 
them some more today. I was going to just embed the images in the email but 
thought the email would be too large.

20th Birthday Logo | Feedback needed

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi everyone,

We were hoping to do a 20th birthday logo to print on stickers, t-shirts,
and maybe some other merchandise, as well as to post on social media. Here
are some options: 20th birthday logos
<https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0BxT3JgrBDcz2Z3UwT3p6REh1S0U>
 [1].

Any initial feedback on them would be helpful. We also welcome new ideas to
explore. These would be special 20th birthday items, and separate from
things that the GUADEC team would be doing for the regular GUADEC
conference.

Thanks!

Best,
Nuritzi

Re: GNOME booth?`

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

I think that's a great idea! Michael Hall will be speaking there on behalf
of Endless and might be able to help do a shift or something during the
conference. I'm adding him here so you guys can coordinate if we get the
booth.

As an aside, the GNOME booth at SCALE
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TargetedEvents/2017/SCALE15X> was very
well received, so we may want to try to do something similar for All Things
Open.

Hey Rishi,

We've already reached out to him and talked about doing some promotion for
his Patreon at the end of this month / early July when his interview comes
out. I'll add you to that thread in case you want to assist and be part of
the planning.

NOTES | Engagement Meeting on April 28, 2017

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Here are today's meeting notes. I've also added them to
https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TeamMeetings/28-APR-2017

Best,
Nuritzi

Meeting on April 28th

AGENDA

   - Social media planning for May (Nuritzi)
   - 20th birthday agenda for next week (Nuritzi)
   - Promoting the community's personal fundraising campaigns (Nuritzi)

Deferred to next meeting

   - Should we store our archived and stalled initiatives somewhere other
   than the bottom of these meeting notes? (Nuritzi)
   - What type of events belong on the GNOME calendar? (Nuritzi)

ATTENDEES

   - Rosanna
   - Nuritzi
   - Bastian
   - Allan

NOTES

Social media for May

   - Board of Directors elections (check for the date with memberships
   committee)
   - Unixstickers promo
   - GNOME's 20th birthday
   - Linuxfest Northwest conference
   - Open SUSE conference

Promoting the community's personal fundraising campaigns

   -

   There's a new patreon campaign around GTK https://www.patreon.com/baedert
   - We could try to promote these things if the community members would
   like us to
   - We should align our promotions with their own promotions to create
   more momentum
   - Engagement blog might be a good place to have these contributors and
   campaigns showcased
   - We might want to send an email to the Engagement list / Foundation
   list and tell them we are open to promoting patreon campaigns in this way.
   Do this only after a few tries and after we see how it goes.
   - Does this conflict with the "Adopt a Hacker" program we have on
   Friends of GNOME? We should make sure we still promote our own programs
   - We should make sure people's expectations are set to know that a
   bigger promotion (engagement blog post) will take a couple of weeks to do,
   it's not immediate. We can retweet things more easily/immediately though
   - ACTION: @Nuritzi Reach out to the new person and see if they want to
   be featured on the Engagement team blog. See if the other 2 from before
   would also like something similar (engagement blog feature and a promotion
   on social media)
   - ACTION: @Nuritzi to see if Cassandra can write the blog posts

20th birthday agenda for next week

   - Photo wall / video wall at the venue: goo.gl/0Q80Pt
  -

  The venue has a huge video wall that we could put videos on. Maybe
  Bastian wants to do something for that? [image: ;)] Maybe this could
  be screenshots of older versions of GNOME
  - Bastian is in touch with someone from an old GUADEC and that person
  has a bunch of old footage. Bastian has plans for some video material.
  - Another idea would be to have an animated clip or something
  - ACTION: @Bastian will plan on making a video to play on loop for
  the Birthday party

* ACTION: @Allan to send out information for how to join the GUADEC Call
next week to talk about 20th bday

Newcomers Initiative

   - Questions on newcomer's channel is now more about code vs how to build
   things
   - We have 3 or 4 new Polari contributors and that's really significant
   since we haven't
   - Carlos has been busy fixing a lot of bugs and making sure that it
   works on distributions. They're working on making more apps avaiable
   through the newomer's initiative
   - We shuold check in with Carlos and see if there's anything else that
   has been added for publicity purposes to help make sure we keep momentum
   - We might want to have some shout outs from maintainers / mentors from
   projects that want newcomers to join their projects
   - We might want to circle back feedback from newcomers about what their
   experience has been so far
   - How can we be more data driven? We can see how many new authors there
   are committing code. Emmanuele is doing git stats on GTK. We may need to
   read how many new contributors in this release.
   - Newcomer app teams. Maybe we can showcase some of the new work being
   done.
   - ACTION: @Nuritzi to check in with Carlos about any new developments to
   see if we can post about some of them on social media.
   - ACTION: @Basitian to check in with newcomer app teams to see if they
   want to do a shout out or else showcase some of the new work being done in
   their projects.

OTHER

   -

   *Bug Squash Month*
   - We thought it was great and we should plan a retrospective, perhaps at
  GUADEC. Plan for another bug squash month for October / November.
   -

   *GNOME Continuous*
   - We should see if we could get it working on VMs for an upcoming
  release. It'd be nice to promote GNOME Continuous as a way for people to
  get GNOME up and running quickly and help with QA.
  - We could have something similar to a bug squash day/month to help
  people get up and running

20th Birthday Celebration at GUADEC

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi GUADEC 2017 team,

The Engagement team has been talking about several initiatives to run for
GNOME's 20th Birthday celebration this year, and some of those include
doing things at this year's GUADEC. We know that you guys are already
planning on some activities and it'd be great to sync up.

Would it be possible for some of us to attend your regular meeting next
week? Can you confirm that it's Monday at 17:00 UTC?

Thanks!

Best,
Nuritzi

Usually only GNOME Foundation members

think there may have been special instances where people have received
access in order to complete a specific task, but you'd have to talk to the
memberships / sysadmin team for that.

Are you able to make it to tomorrow's Engagement meeting at 16:00 UTC? If
so, we can talk more about it then and you can learn more about what we've
already tried.

Best,
Nuritzi

Re: Gnome3 shell is still poor, needs changes

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi Erik,

The best way to change the experience is to become part of the community,
learn more about the decisions that have been made in the past, and help
work towards the changes you are hoping to see. If you'd like to get
involved, there's a newcomer's page you may want to check out:
https://www.gnome.org/get-involved/

The Engagement team (aka this list) helps to promote GNOME, and also helps
organize some of the internal communications and such - but we don't set
the technical direction of GNOME. If you're interested in communications
and outreach, we'd welcome you to this team - we have weekly meetings on
Friday at 16:00 UTC.

You may instead/also be interested in the developer's list:
https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

Cheers,
Nuritzi

Postponing | GNOME #Engagement Meeting Friday, April 7th

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi All,

Unfortunately, a bulk of us won't be able to make it to tomorrow's
Engagement Team meeting, so let's postpone it to next Friday.

Since daylight savings changes are over, let's also move the meeting to
16:00 UTC so we can make it easier for our European friends to attend.

So, see you guys at the next meeting on: *Friday, April 14th at 16:00 UTC.*

Thanks!

Best,
Nuritzi

Help Needed | Conferences for 2017 and 2018

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi all,

The Engagement Team is putting together a list of conferences that our
community hopes to attend in 2017 and 2018.

Please take a look at our list so far and add any events and conferences
that we are missing. These should be ones you think are important for the
GNOME Project to have a presence at. The list is included below and the
wiki page is here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TargetedEvents

*Why do we want a list? *
We want to make sure people feel empowered to represent GNOME all over the
world at conferences and events! This means supporting the community with
resources (e.g. $$ for marketing materials, ideas on how to run a booth,
help with speeches, etc).

We also want to attend some strategic events to make sure that GNOME is
seen as the vibrant and awesome organization that it is. If we know which
conferences are coming up, we can try to target strategic ones and work
with people attending to get materials that will make GNOME look baller.

*We need your help*
After we create this list, we'll need your help to attend strategic events.
We obviously prefer for locals to attend events close to them, but we have
a travel fund for a reason.

Also - here's a shameless plug for the Engagement Team ;) If you're
interested in helping us plan for conferences and event outreach, please us
know. We have a lot of ideas for how to have a bigger presence all over the
world - and we need more people to help execute on those ideas. We need you.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Nuritzi

Re: VOTE | Upcoming Branding Strategy Meeting

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi All,

We discussed this at today's engagement meeting and decided to cancel this
meeting.

Instead, Allan will be talking to our visual designers to create a style
guide and then will share it with the rest of us. At that time, we'll have
a meeting dedicated to a presentation of the style guide so that community
members can ask questions and learn more about it.

If anyone has any questions about the planning process for the style guide
and/or would like to be more involved with creating it, please let Allan
know!

Thank you!

Best,
Nuritzi

Re: Opinion Requested | Tablecloth color for conferences

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Thanks Kat and Bastian. I guess I'll go with blue because the signs that I
made for the table are blue. I just remembered that.

*@Bastian*, (or someone else) do you have the exact color code I need to
give the printer? I'm on the run today and don't have much time to
investigate.

Thank you!

Reminder | GNOME #Engagement Meeting Friday, February 24th

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

Hi everyone,

This is a quick reminder about the GNOME Engagement team meeting
tomorrow, *Friday,
2017-02-24 (February 24th) at 17:00 UTC*.

At that time, join the #engagement channel and join us via video chat. You
can join by clicking the link below or dialing in on your phone:

*Join the call: https://www.uberconference.com/gnome-engagement
<https://www.uberconference.com/gnome-engagement>*
Optional dial in number: 857-216-6156
PIN: 62777


Please see the agenda here: Engagement Meeting Agenda
<https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/engagement-team-meetings> [1]. We will do any
new member introductions first, then go over any new meeting items, and
lastly, sync on the ongoing initiatives. If you have anything you'd like us
to talk about, please add it to the new item list on the agenda.

*I won't be able to attend this meeting nor the next one on March 3rd, *but
Neil should be able to help run it and I'll be giving my updates to
Cassandra. I'll send pictures of SCALE 15x :)

Best,
Nuritzi


If you're new to GNOME or the Engagement Team...
We'd love to have you join our meeting and get to know part of the team!

*To join the engagement team meeting*, make sure that you have an IRC
account and join the #engagement channel. IRC setup instructions are
here: Getting
In Touch <https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC>.

If you want to chat before the call, just email or ping me on IRC: @nuritzi.

*Make sure you know what time 17:00 UTC is in your timezone*. You can use Time
& Date <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html> [3] to help
you.

If you feel comfortable, add yourself to the "New Member Introductions"
section of the agenda
<https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/engagement-team-meetings> [1]. We'd love to
say hi and learn more about who you are and what you're interested in.

If you're curious, you can take a look at notes from our previous meetings
here: Engagement Team Meetings
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TeamMeetings>.

We look forward to meeting you!

*Note: if you're new to IRC, you should set up your IRC account at least an
hour before the team call since it will take around 15 - 30 minutes to set
up. You may want to try using a web-based client, like IRC Cloud
<https://www.irccloud.com/> [4], first and then ping someone on IRC for
help setting up a native client.*

Re: Opinion Requested | Tablecloth color for conferences

[Nuritzi Sanchez]

By the way, the tablecloth guy suggested we have the GNOME logo on the
front and then just the icon on the sides, so it would have branding on 3
sides.

In addition, here are the specs:

Our standard 4 sided table cover is a great table topper for trade shows,
exhibitions, and any presentations. Our table covers are dye sublimated and
are 100% washable. This table cover is made of 8.8 oz. polyester table
fabric with rounded corners and hangs approximately 2" inches above the
floor.  This material drapes over 4 sides of a 72" x 30" x 30" inches
display table.  Complete your presentation with our simple and
cost-effective table cover.



*Features  *:

· High resolution *full color* digitally printed at 720 x 720

· Dye sublimation

· Scratch resistant

· Washable
