Emergency marketing team meeting
Due to the complete derailment of the thread in which I posted my concerns about the marketing effort going off the rails due to the radical redefinition of what Gnome 3 is at the UX Hackfest, I believe that we need to meet to discuss some strategy by which we can put the marketing train back on-track and find a definition of what--exactly--Gnome 3 is. Two options are: 1. start a thread on d-d-l where Lefty and RMS aren't present and explictly ask that only developers participate 2. run a poll using the polling software from which we would get consensus and then articulate what we find back to the larger Gnome community (definition by mob) Let's meet to discuss candidly on #marketing. Here is a Doodle link. Please select a time: http://www.doodle.com/fau28xapd3qwr6ry -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Such a strategy would have the following outcomes: 1. It would make our desktop look like 3.0 is half-baked 2. It would make us look like we're experimenting on our user base 3. It would make our desktop environment look unstable On the other hand, should such changes happen organically--that is, not part of a narrative about what Gnome 3 is--then so be it.

Have you (or anyone else) reached out to the GNOME Shell team to discuss a possible roadmap? I'm also concerned as the GNOME Activity Journal has not been proposed as a module yet.

Yes, I asked Jon McCann, whom was at the UX Hackfest, to join this list and he said that he was already planning to post a blog post defining what is possible last Wednesday. That hasn't happened yet. I'm also concerned as the GNOME Activity Journal has not been proposed as a module yet. I too am concerned about this. This is one of the many reasons that it may be acceptable to think of Gnome 3.0 as Gnome 2.34 or 2.36. -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

According to Seif today a proposal for GNOME 3 is planned. Writing this here to avoid creation of potential rumours, based on valid concerns raised here. andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://www.iomc.de/ | http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Re: Emergency marketing team meeting
I listed all of the times for an entire week which work for me. Literally all of them. There isn't a spare moment that I have that I did not offer as an option.

Re: Mobile Giving Marketing Plan Draft
We should probably add some specifics, like ideas for text for twitter and banners, which event to target, etc. Stormy On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 5:41 PM, Bharat Kapoor 3.kap...@gmail.com wrote: Posted: http://live.gnome.org/Gnome%20Fund%20Raising#preview Please jot ur thoughts.
