Speaking opportunity at SVLUG on April 6 about GNOME 3.0
Dear all, Checking on the SVLUG schedule it seems April 6 is the date of their April's monthly meeting () and the slot is still available. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone submit a talk (http://www.svlug.org/call4speakers.php) about GNOME 3.0 and go there to present to one of the oldest and largest LUG? From the description the meetings are 2-hour technical presentations for an engineering audience, with QA. That could also be a could way to promote and launch GNOME 3.0 on the West Coast. We can definitely arrange some goodies (from the launch parties) to the speaker volunteering to give away on that day. Thanks for stepping up or forwarding the information to the relevant candidates (and letting us know).

Conference t-shirts: kids sizes
Got a few requests @ FOSDEM for kids size t-shirts. This was started at last years GUADEC. I think for at least Europe it might be nice to make such sizes available (together with mens + womans sizes). How do I make this known? I know guadec-list... but I'd like to contact conference people in general.

The idea is to concentrate the marketing efforts in just a few channels in order to give a better service, replying users comments, publishing news, etc http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Channels We have another channels, like gnome.shell page and GNOME 3 group on facebook, and I wonder what we have to do with these other channels, if they are under our control. No replies, so then I think the situation is ok and we can leave it the way it is :) Cheers, -- Juanjo Marin -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

contract marketing position
I have been reviewing the various threads on the marketing list and website with regards to applying for the marketing materials production contract and I have a few questions. 1. who would be the contact person/s for the project info and final approval of the new materials 2. is there an anticipated list of deliverables or will that evolve as part of the project scope 3. is the a strategic overall marketing plan in place with specific goals or is that another aspect of the project definition A. the emphasis for this project, I assume, would be the launch of gnome3 4. is there a source file or asset management system for text, images, graphics that have used/approved for marketing efforts Thanks Steve I hope to be able to work with you on this project -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: Conference t-shirts: kids sizes
For conference people in general, including hackfest organizers and people that have booths at conferences, I think the Foundation list might be your best bet. Alternatively (or in addition) you could put a note at the top of the Hackfest page and the top of the Event Box page.

As Stormy said, foundation-list is probably your best bet. guadec-list, gugmasters and marketing-list are also good places to go. gugmasters was created for just this kind of thing.
