GNOME Quarterly Reports
Hi, we have quarterly activity reports for GNOME. Last version for April-June 2012 can be seen at https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/QuarterlyReports/2012/Q2 . Once the wikipage is completed, Andreas turns this into a nice PDF file. As feedback is often slow (needs several times of nagging) I'd like to know if quarterly reports are still supported and wanted by the community, or if we should think of a better format (e.g. merging with news or journal activities).

Hi marketing team, hi release team, it's about time to start preparing the 3.6 release notes. Last time (see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2012-March/msg00022.html ) several things were mentioned: * Potentially move from Docbook format to Mallard or Wordpress * Better integration with press release (buzzword "synergy effects") Any comments and volunteers for this? (I can only volunteer for setting up the traditional Docbook skeleton, sorry.) Allan, Emily, Olav and Sri have expressed potential interest in helping to write the release notes.

default Ubuntu comes with something that is very different from what we
advertise on our websites") but I am happy to be proven wrong. :)
So in case that you know: Does Linux Mint 12 by default use gnome-shell,
or does it use MGSE, or other shells such as Mate (or Cinnamon in
version 13) by default?
I've been quickly reading through http://blog.linuxmint.com/ but could
not find anything that makes it much clearer either to me.

3.4 Release Notes time - Help needed!
[Please edit/strip the CC list if answering is needed!]
Hi everybody,
time to start preparing the GNOME 3.4 release notes to tell users,
developers and press what's new and great in GNOME!
This means: We need YOUR help as you know best!
Please take two minutes:
* What new features does your application/module have?
* Any usability, performance, internationalization or
accessibility improvements?
* Any very important bug fixes to mention?
* What are the new things developers need to know?
* What is on your list for 3.6? ("Plans for GNOME 3.6")
Add anything that comes to your mind to
https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/ReleaseNotes
so we can tell the world!
Linking to screenshots or descriptive blogposts is also welcome.
And be quick as the release is already in 3 weeks. ;-)
Thanks in advance for your help!

I didn't spend much time behind the stand (thanks to everybody else who
helped and did much much more work!) but dumping what I remember from
when I wasn't drunk or slacking or both:
* I was asked twice if the POSTERS ("official desktop of happy
people") are available but did not know the wiki URL by heart.
For the next print it should be written on them in a small font
in a dark corner.
* Tobias put up some of our available t-shirts but we were missing
a ROPE/TAPE so we ended up using two network cables to get them
onto the wall. It had a geeky charme so maybe we should not fix
this.
* The LEAFLET includes a screenshot of GNOME 2 (and doesn't look
great if they are just black and white photocopies).
* Tobias wants one of these STAND-UP displays that are a poster in
120x200cm and can be rolled up. I have no idea what it's called
and no idea yet what to put onto it.
* I sometimes wonder (for geeky audiences) if we should have a
how-to help list handy, like some (real) examples for tasks
where we need help (e.g. application $foo needs updated
documentation or $bar's maintainer is AWOL and you could take
over). Might not make us look good though, so maybe just a
printed summary of the "Getting involved" page showing that
there are many areas where people can contribute and that you
don't need to be a coder. OUTREACH.
* Not Fosdem specific: The STICKERS with the foot logo don't help
spreading the word to people who do not know what the logo
stands for. If we had stickers with a "gnome.org" URL on them
our street teams could put them onto every traffic light and
toilet door of those hip clubs and schools where the cool kids
go that should really check out our project. Of course our
street teams should only do this in countries where wild
advertising is legal(TM)!

Google Code-In 2011: Tasks wanted!
Google Code-In starts again. GNOME took part in it last year already. === What is Google Code-in (GCI)? === You might call it the "small sister" of Google Summer of Code. It is a contest for 13-17 year old highschool students. Tasks take 3-5 days and have a mentor assigned. Tasks can be in several categories: * Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code * Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents * Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing * Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality * Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions * Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more * Translation: Tasks related to localization * User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction For more info check out http://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2011/about === How to participate === GNOME needs 5 tasks in each of the 8 categories (=40 tasks in total) until October 31st in order to participate in GCI. That's in a few days already, so hurry up if you have an idea! That would be the first batch of tasks. A second batch would be published on December 16th. Tasks need a clear description, one or more defined mentors, an expected timeframe to solve them, and difficulty (easy, medium, hard). More info for mentors is available here: http://code.google.com/p/google-code-in/wiki/GCIAdminMentorInformation No ideas? Check out for example KDE's list: http://community.kde.org/GoogleCodeIn/2011/Ideas You could even add generic tasks: Add three GCI tasks "Fix a bug of your choice for the product $foo in GNOME Bugzilla" (one easy, one medium and one hard), let the student pick a bug, and then tell her/him whether to claim the easy, medium or hard task for it. === Criticism from last year === ...as it helps to avoid wrong expectations: GCI is not GSoC. There is not enough time to create an "emotional binding" to the project that the student works on. I'd rather call it "drive-by contributions". Patches might need several iterations and you will need to be both patient and reactive (as students cannot claim a new task until their patch has been reviewed and marked as completed by mentors). It might be helpful to mention in task descriptions your availability, e.g. that you also have free weekends or don't plan to review submissions on christmas holidays. But all in all it is a good way to help young people to get a first idea of FOSS and contributing to it, and to create some future contributors. Are you in? If so, go to https://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn and add some ideas to https://live.gnome.org/GoogleCodeIn/Tasks !

3.2 Release Notes: Featured Apps
Heja marketing team, as we're in the process of writing the 3.2 release notes[1] the release team is wondering whether there is a plan to have "Featured Apps". This was mentioned earlier in the moduleset reorganization threads[2]. It refers to applications that are not part of core[3], but part of the apps moduleset[4] and which are awesome and well-integrated in GNOME, so they deserve a prominent place in the release notes. Does anybody have some plans/time to push this, or is anybody in to help? andre [1] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2011-August/msg00100.html [2] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2011-March/msg00066.html [3] http://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/tree/modulesets/gnome-suites-core-3.2.modules [4] http://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/tree/modulesets/gnome-apps-3.2.modules -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper | http://www.openismus.com -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
3.2 Release Notes time - Help needed!
Hi everybody, it's time to start preparing the 3.2 release notes to tell our users, developers and press what's hot and new in the next GNOME release! This means: We need YOUR help! What new features does your application have? What important bug fixes? What accessibility improvements do we have? Which modules have switched to topic-based (Mallard) user documentation in the last six months? What are the new things developers need to know about GNOME's development platform? What hasn't been done for 3.2 but is on your list for 3.4? (section "Plans for the next release") Please take two minutes and add your news to https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointOne/ReleaseNotes so we can tell the world! Linking to screenshots or descriptive blog posts is also welcome.

On a related note, we are going to publish GNOME 3.2 release notes in about five weeks. If I remember correctly we did not mention a11y on purpose in the last release notes as 3.0's a11y support was "not very good". Do you have any a11y achievements (both for developers and users) in 3.1 in mind that are worth to mention in the 3.2 release notes?

Interesting point. I totally agree that the brand value is stronger in
other designs. However having just the GNOME logo on a shirt looks like
"maybe just another clothing brand I don't know about yet" to
"outsiders" without providing much values.
My naive idea: If the "House of Monkeys" shirt is considered cute, the
first impression of people not knowing GNOME is that GNOME is also
something cute.
Probably it really depends on who you talk to. I mostly refered to
people not into computers when I go out in the evening.
Of all the geeky shirts I have the "Beagle" one[1] has created by far
the most feedback (people starting to talk to me, often immediately
asking how they can buy one while having no idea that it's a software).

Heh. That's exactly the one that I have gotten the most positive
comments ("cute" etc) and conversation starts ("what is GNOME?") for.
