I'm a big Gnome fan and would like to help out as much as I can - however, time/resources will probably keep that to a pretty limited role.

I'm also about to get married and am pretty busy at my day-job, so don't wait for much me :-) Steven Garrity -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: upcoming conferences and liveCDs
I am. But I've decided to give out livecds from the booth instead. It would be niec to start off with maybe 500 Live CDs and then if we want more I can go and buy some more and press them. sri On Fri, Jul 15, 2005 at 11:50:48AM -0400, Tim Ney wrote: > Hello Sri, > > Are you still planning to give out LiveCDs at OSCON? > > tim > > > On Mon, 2005-05-02 at 11:50 -0700, Sriram Ramkrishna wrote: > > Apparently, OSCON is having some presence.

Re: Commercial support
I would love to see this list. It might make a great basis for pamphlets/brochures to give out at conferences since businesses/govt will be thinking about it. Better yet, if you're able to find the one thats local to the city you're in, thats even better. sri On Mon, Jul 18, 2005 at 12:41:58PM -0400, Luis Villa wrote: > On 7/18/05, Claus Schwarm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Mon, 18 Jul 2005 10:56:02 -0400 > > Luis Villa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > Ah. i was thinking that was more for consultants (folks like > > > http://www.openadvantage.org/) than for distros.

I like that a lot. It strengthens the brand. Apparently you are also working on a GNOME web redesign? How far along is that?

Particulaly if our CD won't have an attractive cardboard case, like the Ubuntu CDs. I guess that 2000 CDs would cost approx 2500 or 3000 dollars, just with paper covers. If we don't do bag inserts for the GNOME LiveCD then you should definitely contact Ubuntu (mako) soon, who can maybe get some Ubuntu LiveCDs shipped there quickly. -- 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: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: Would like to add GNOME Live CD to OSCON packet]
Hi Sri, Sriram Ramkrishna a écrit : I'm cool if we don't get it in teh packet, we can always distribute it from the booth, at much smaller quantities if money is a factor. Just a word of advice - bag inserts tend to mostly get thrown away, whereas stand giveaways (or better, sales) tend to get used, and might be a more appropriate use of ressources, if there's a cost involved.
