 Thoughts on optimal screen size for screen shots? I'm targeting
 1280x720 for the videos (for obvious reasons) but I could use the
 xrandr scale magic to get a native screen of any size for the screen
 shots.

Good question. The main consideration is what looks best; anything in
the 1280x800 - 1366x768 range seems fine in my experience. (1366x768 is
the resolution of the images that are on the site at the moment.)

Best,

Allan

Yes, I think I can go; and I think it would be good to have a marketing
gettogether around that time.

Best,

Integrating Flattr?

2011-01-24 Thread Claus Schwarm
I just stumbled upon Flattr [1]. GNOME's on their users' wishlist [2].

Currently, it's probably not going to generate much money. But it might
by worth to support such a donation system by integrating it into
GNOME's various websites.

Also, it may be used as a popularity index, if one assumes that people
click the flattr button for stuff they like.

Just a thought.

Regards, 
 Claus

Re: Official announcement and invitation to GNOME 3.0 Hackfest and GNOME.Asia Summit 2011

2011-01-24 Thread Brian Cameron


Vinicius:


I would really like to go, but at the moment I am worried about how
much it would cost for me to go from Brazil to India. Kayak.com tells
me it is a 27 hours flight with prices from about USD 1800.

Considering that with this amount of money I can almost attend to two
European events, I would rather prefer to meet you guys later in some
closer venue.


If travel cost is the only concern, please consider submitting an
application for travel subsidy.

  http://live.gnome.org/Travel

Remember that applications that do a good job of explaining the things
you expect to do and get done at the hackfest tend to be taken most
seriously.  Having a good plan is a more important selection criteria
than the cost of travel.

 Same question goes for Documentation.

The documentation team will have a hackfest a few weeks earlier
in Toronto. There are two main reasons for having that hackfest
instead of using GNOME.Asia. First, more of our team can attend.
Second, any work we do in the last few days leading up to the
release won't get translated.
