Re: Proposal for GNOME press release about Nokia device

2005-06-01 Thread Dave Neary


Hi,

Sriram Ramkrishna a crit :

GNOME enters embedded device market with Nokia


No!Sorry, but we don't want to be in the embedded market. We discussed 
this at length in both marketing BOFs. We want this to be ISVs give 
GNOME software stack a stamp of approval


Unfortunately, given that there was a release about Nokia during GUADEC 
already: http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/nokiadonation.html it looks 
like your work has been wasted. Leslie made the release in Stuttgart in 
co-operation with the Nokia people who were here.


Leslie's going to be coming on the list now, so hopefully this won't 
happen again.


Cheers,
Dave.

Might be nice to post a summery to the list who was there, what topics
have been discussed, and what the agreements were; similar to the board
meeting summeries.

Cheers, 
Claus

Hi Claus,

Luis took lots of notes. I have only my memories. I expect he will write 
it up when he's back home and has recovered.


Cheers,
Dave.

OK.

 Unfortunately, given that there was a release about Nokia during GUADEC 
 already: http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/nokiadonation.html it looks

 co-operation with the Nokia people who were here.

Well, the amount of time I spent on it is negligible.  But since
I did say I would try to come up with something I wanted to follow
through on what I committed (albeit late.)

 Leslie's going to be coming on the list now, so hopefully this won't 
 happen again.

Oh good!  :)

Bounties funded by Google, for GNOME

2005-06-01 Thread Simos Xenitellis


I did not see this mentioned in the list, so I take the chance to do it.
Google is funding specific bounties for open-source projects, at
http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html

They cover GNOME as well, at
http://www.gnome.org/bounties/Google.html

Thanks to the unnamed heroes who worked on this!
Simos
