Re: Release marketing for GNOME 3.22

I'm happy to (at least) read/look through the news item before the release.

 I would like to avoid relatively trivial posts about the conference
 being published in close proximity to the release announcement. This should
 be fairly easy to solve if LAS GNOME uses its own media channels and
 whoever handles the release announcement has control over the GNOME
 channels, though.

 Looks like we have a volunteer for that as well!  I won't be able to
 help this time as I will be busy with LAS GNOME.  So finding some new blood
 to help with this is probably in order.

 I can try to reach out and see if we can find more volunteers for
 that?  But if Lene wants to help with a plan, I won't stand in their way.

Focusing on the positives (better tracking of running services even in
case of failure in gnome-settings-daemon, auto-restart if the sharing
daemons fail, etc.)

FYI, I often have plans at that time, so usually will not be able to
make it. I'll try to attend if I can.


Can we also setup something which shows up in my calendar on my phone?
Bugzilla provides a feed where I see their meetings. This might not be
free software based though (e.g. something from Google).

Sure, we can stay out of the GNOME account for the LAS GNOME stuff during
that week.  Hopefully we can gain enough followers that.  But I think for
certain things, for instance, let's say that we had Linus meeting with
desktop developers, that I would want to put on the GNOME twitter account.
That would probably fall into a non-trivial post.  Same with any important
thing that came out of the BoFs.

What do you mean, 'avoiding crossing the streams'?  I'm sure we can do some
promotion at the conference and certainly there should be an opportunity to
have a release party with conference attendees :)

That's great, we could use more people doing that.  We don't really have
enough of those and our resources are already tight with LAS GNOME
promotion.  The engagement team is largely the LAS GNOME people too.

We don't usually have a budget, but that could change.. I think we would
really like to use things like adsense to see get more eyeballs.  If you
have any idea how to have more eyeballs on our releases we would love to
hear.

We have meetings every Friday, so you should consider joining one of them
and introduce yourself!

Release marketing for GNOME 3.22

[Allan Day]

Hi everyone,

GNOME 3.22 is scheduled for release on 21 September - that's three weeks
from now. The main things we need to have for the release are:

   - Release notes
   - Release video
   - News post for gnome.org
   - Screenshot pack
   - Update the screenshots on the website
   - Social media coverage, running up to the release and immediately
   afterwards. LAS GNOME is happening at the same time so we'll need to figure
   out how to avoid crossing the streams...

Bastian is already on the case with the video. I'm happy to take the lead
with the release notes, but would really appreciate some help, particularly
with screenshots and the screenshot pack.

The big area where we need people to chip in is with social media. It would
be great to have a plan there.

Thanks,

Allan
