This is one of my foundation board action items. We didn't get much feedback on the current design: http://www.murrayc.com/blog/tech/2005-04-20-13-55.html so I was about to just stamp it as official. Your looks a bit nicer, and an .svg would be good. But you need to use the new simpler trademarked logo, and we'd like only the "GNOME member logo" to be used on these cards - The logo with "GNOME Foundation Member" underneath/next-to it. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: Publishing press releases in other languages than english
Hi Quim, Quim Gil a écrit : One question. This is the price to have a press release distributed in the PR networks. But PR networks are not just the only way to get to journalists, isn't it? That's right. I think that's what Leslie was saying when she mentioned collecting press contacts and just pushing a translated release to them. We "just" need a centralised set of press contacts :) linuxfr.org is the French equivalent of slashdot, by the way (well, kind of...)

>> Literally - thousands of dollars for each release. > > > I suspect it's cheaper in France. One question. This is the price to have a press release distributed in the PR networks. But PR networks are not just the only way to get to journalists, isn't it? I mean, having press releases in Spanish may help having a better coverage in, for instance, http://barrapunto.com (the Spanish slashdot-alike reference) and once you are there the (good) journalists specialized on IT get the news. The GNOME project should have weight enough not to depend only on PR networks. And therefore I would't condition the press release translations to a factor such as the price of distributing a press release globally or just in the US.

I can't recall that it has been said anywhere from within the gnome foundation that you can't use it for non-commercial reasons. We simply figured that since quite a few of our members are gnome foundation members and from the fact that we have been using the gnome foot on our web page for ages that it would be all right. further investigation turned up this mailing-post from Owen Taylor where he mentions (as a opinion and not as a fact) that the gnome foot logo can not be used for commercial business cards. this implies that it could be possible to use them for non-commercial gnome related business cards. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2005-March/msg00067.html I don't know how far you are with business cards, but i could give you our design. However at the moment i can only offer a low quality one, and i can only get the high quality one in about a week. I was planning to put it on the marketing live.gnome page at some point, but hadn't found time to do that yet. here is my blog about our cards: http://www.stratos-online.nl/blog/02May2005 and here is a pdf demo of the card: http://www.stratos-online.nl/card_demo.pdf we had the benefit that the company i work for also does business cards. so we could get full color, double sided cards at no cost. > regards > > -- > Fernando San Martín Woerner > Jefe de Informática > Galilea S.A. > -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Hi All, We (Greek team) are planning to print some t-shirts for local use and would like to use "GNOME" and the foot. We would like to do it right, and in the process help others in a similar situation. "GNOME" and the foot logo are (c) by the GNOME Foundation. 1. Does this apply to the US only? Is it worldwide?

Hi, Leslie Proctor wrote: Literally - thousands of dollars for each release. I suspect it's cheaper in France. Plus, Mandrake have offered us a helping hand in the past, perhaps they would be prepared to push a couple of locally relevant releases a year for us. The best strategy is to localize and then do individual e-mails to appropriate press contacts in each country. That's more effective (and a lot cheaper!) than putting a release out on multiple wires. Agreed, this sounds sane. As I said, we have a team in place which can localise things like this in a day if they're on a time limit, and we have a short collection of press contacts which has started to build up in specialised press (although someone still needs to take ownership of that and collate the addresses, push information and so on).

As I see it now, what can be done is to for those who find it interesting, to use it in the GAIM username, add to their blog entries and so on. If it's good, it will be caught up. There are several nice things you can do with IT, that simply not many people have realised they can do. Actually, for the purposes of an experiment, could someone who has their blog on pgo make an entry and add some interesting Unicode characters in the entry title? For the experiment to be trustworthy, do not mention anything about the characters, just use them, then wait if there is interest. For example, "XYZ restaurant verdict: ★" "★★★ Announcing xyz 1.2 ★★★" Other characters (for copy/paste) are ✂✔✐✤✹✿ Or use gucharmap.

Literally - thousands of dollars for each release. In the US, you can do a nationwide release for between $600- $1,000 (depending on the length of the release). Every European country is its own territory, so it gets very expensive, very quickly. In the past, we've chosen to put some GUADEC announcements on the wire in the appropriate country, rather than in the US. Novell (and other companies) often just do a US release. Which is often ok, because the leading technology writers in the US are translated and posted on sites around the world and news aggregator sites around the world look for news of interest to localize. The best strategy is to localize and then do individual e-mails to appropriate press contacts in each country. That's more effective (and a lot cheaper!) than putting a release out on multiple wires.

Re: Publishing press releases in other languages than english
Hi, Leslie Proctor a écrit : We have a team of people that localize the press releases into some languages. We currently have reliable people to do Portugese, Spanish and Chinese and German. We could use other languages. Volunteers? The i18n team (which have a signle point of contact) can translate into up to 80 languages. There are active teams for at least 30 languages, including all major European languages, many of the Arabic scripts, several Indian languages, and a great many Pacific rim languages. It would be nice to involve this huge and rich resource in our press release planning. When the release goes out over the wire, it only goes out in English - it's very expensive and Novell is kind enough to do it for us. We now have press contacts in France, the UK and Germany at least. Perhaps we should start gathering information on cost & procedure for pushing press releases to wires over this side of the pond?
