marketing meeting next week!
Howdy folks, It's that time to start thinking about when to schedule our marketing meeting next week. Is the same time frame okay or do people want to try a different time frame in order to have more people. I know that several people keen on attending. I would request the people who volunteered for community outreach attend this as we will probably spend the entire hour talking about community management. Before we talk, we probably want to plan on a structured discussion as I think that without one we won't come out of the meeting without any concrete goals. We should strive to have some kind of actionable item at the end of the discussion. Can we open the floor on what we want to focus on, in the next meeting? I want to do one test call Friday so that we can get everybody's software working prior to the real meeting. We spent way too much time trying to get things working and I want to not waste time getting people's software working. Once we find a bullet proof method, we can put it on l.g.o and reference it. sri -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: GNOME Presence at SCALE 11x
I think we would love to be there, but I don't know of any GNOME folks that reside in SoCal. I could write a call for volunteers on planet and ask? On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 1:05 PM, Gareth J.

GNOME Presence at SCALE 11x
Greetings all, A quick introduction, I'm Gareth Greenaway, one of the organizers for the Southern California Linux Expo. An annual free & open source conference held in Southern California. I've been lurking on the list for awhile, just observing :) The last few years we've had an awesome GNOME presence at SCALE. spearheaded by Jeff Schroeder. Unfortunately for us, Jeff has relocated and is no longer local to SoCal, so he'll be unable to represent GNOME at the show. My hope is that there is someone whose willing to step in and fill this role. Any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!

Re: GNOME in the press - 2012-12-05
I have to say I that I largely agree with datamations point that its marketing that GNOME needs most now. GNOME needs us to be communicating what we're doing, when we're doing it and why - not just to ourselves, but to the wider public as well. The "irreparable harm" quote in LinuxInsider comes from someone I've actually met by the way. I met Kevin O'Brien at Ohio Linux Fest and am scheduled to go meet up with him and his LUG in Ann Arbor, MI in March and do a small presentation on GNOME (though I may ask to postpone that till April when both the weather will (hopefully) be better and 3.8 will be out). From my (admittedly brief) conversations with him at OLF he seemed like a nice guy, though like many he didn't seem to know much about GNOME 3 - though he was interested enough in GNOME to invite me up there.
