Re: marketing meeting next week!
OK, since I have not heard any other objections, we will set it same bat time, same bat channel next week. We still had some trouble with people joining the call using SIP. If you had problems in the past, please let me know and we can try to figure out how to get it working. I know Allan has had some issues. It shows that we can't seem to get a decent experience using VOIP. Gosh if we only had some telepathy people who can help out in this. :-) sri On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 1:52 AM, Allan Day wrote: > Thanks for keeping up the momentum, Sri.

Re: marketing test call tomorrow (Friday) (was Re: marketing meeting next week!)
Yeah, that's why I wanted to do the test call so that we can actually document a working setup. Otherwise we'll just be messing around again. sri On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 2:39 AM, Allan Day wrote: > I've spent some time trying to setup SIP on my Android phone this > morning.

Okay, I will write something up (hopefully over the weekend) and I'll include a few photos/screenshots - people like that sometimes! Yes, Greg was interviewed recently on The Setup http://greg.kh.usesthis.comand there he talks about using GNOME on his workstation (he is also using i3 on another machine along with the GNOME session handling) - which reminds me, I must revive my Google+ page that I modeled after this site.

Re: marketing meeting next week!
Great! Yes, Katherine Noyes is another friendly, positive person I had in mind. That's a good plan - to figure out what we want to showcase, and then start writing and submitting. One thing I've noticed a lot of detractors say is that "you can't do 'real work' with GNOME" - which is a load of hullabaloo, as we know. Surely the people who code it, design it, and so forth are using it. Greg KH uses it on at least one of his systems, and what he does is pretty intense. I'm a nuclear engineer and when I'm using Linux, GNOME is my graphical shell of choice (I don't use it to design reactors, but I use it to do engineering consulting work and it does the job just fine - the nature of the UI helps me to stay focused on the task at hand, distraction free). So obviously it isn't just for Facebook and frivolous things - which all of us know, but the idea is to get the message out there. -Brett On Dec 7, 2012 9:56 AM, "Karen Sandler" wrote: > On Fri, December 7, 2012 4:28 am, Brett Legree wrote: > > Good day all, > > > > One suggestion is to engage various journalists, tech bloggers, or other > > online personalities who either write about GNOME (good or bad feedback) > > or > > use/have used it. > > > > For example, Bruce Byfield just wrote a fairly positive article on how we > > need to engage with the community, get our message out more clearly - > hey, > > good idea ;-) > > > > Others have not been so kind, but I'd say if we reach out to them with > > positive news before they pick up rumours from the grapevine, we can sort > > of use them as positive messengers. > > Agreed!

Thanks for keeping up the momentum, Sri. I am current free at the same time next week. I'd be interested in talking about how we can generate more positive news about GNOME.

Re: marketing meeting next week!
Good day all, One suggestion is to engage various journalists, tech bloggers, or other online personalities who either write about GNOME (good or bad feedback) or use/have used it. For example, Bruce Byfield just wrote a fairly positive article on how we need to engage with the community, get our message out more clearly - hey, good idea ;-) Others have not been so kind, but I'd say if we reach out to them with positive news before they pick up rumours from the grapevine, we can sort of use them as positive messengers. Another idea for instance - some tech blogs that have been writing about GNOME welcome guest articles (Muktware is one) - if we can start getting articles out there, again food for us. I could take Muktware as I know the owner of the site.
