Re: Marketing Hackfest
Paul: As you know, I also live in Chicago however I don't think I will be able to get off work to attend during the day. I would be more than happy to get together and hang out with people in the evenings. Is there a web page with information about the Marketing Hackfest? I would like to forward the information on to the various user groups in Chicago. The Gnome Chicago User Group has pretty much faded away. We did a little bit a couple years ago when I first started it but then people's interest and my free time start to dwindle away.

Banshee Tomboy Gnome-Do Some Clutter Stuff Those are just some things I thought of off the top of my head that might nice to showcase. It would be a good idea not just to show off big name projects that everyone knows about but also some lesser known really cool GNOME-ish projects.

Re: GNOME Booth at Flourish Conference
I will be combining the booths if I can't find someone to run the GNOME booth. I have talked to some people from the Chicago LUG and they have offered to help work in the booth but couldn't promise to run the booth. I am gonna email the Chicago Ubuntu loco and the Chicago LUG to see if anybody is interested in running the booth.

GNOME Booth at Flourish Conference
Hello All, On April 4-5th in Chicago, Illinois there will be the Flourish Conference [1]. Flourish is a conference dealing with aspects of FLOSS in business, academia and personal use. Currently KDE, Ubuntu and Foresight all have booths at Flourish and I think it would be great to have a GNOME booth there as well. The only problem is that I will be running the Foresight booth so I can't run both booths at the same time. I am wondering if anybody would be able to work or knows of anybody willing to work the GNOME booth at Flourish.

I did plan to have our group attend conferences and help announce Gnome, i.e. attend BarCamp Chicago and possibly pyCon next year which is going to be in Chicago. I have requested a mailing list from Gnome and whenever I get the list I will post the info here. Also does anybody know about requesting web space from Gnome. I would like to have chicago.gnome.org if possible and if they could do the web hosting that would be great. I am not sure if they do this for other user groups, if not it would be a nice thing to offer. --Kevin -- - specialKevin - Kevin Harriss - http://www.specialkevin.com -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Maybe separate it into two groups, one group/team for marketing the desktop and another team for marketing to embedded devices. This will allow each group to focus on its intended audience, where the same audience for the desktop might not be the same as embedded devices. Also this would keep people who are only interested in the desktop from getting swamped with mail about gnome embedded. > Let's organize a brain storming session to get the ball rolling.

Re: Starting Chicago Gnome User Group
Wiki pages or any documentatoin would be helpful. I will be keeping notes of everything I do so if I am able to get this group off the ground I might be able to contribute some documentation on user groups. Also, if anybody knows any gnome devs that in the chicagoland area that might be interested in this group could you pass this information on to them or you can send me there contact information and I will talk to them.

Starting Chicago Gnome User Group
Hello, My name is Kevin Harriss and I am new to this list was just wondering if anybody was interested in joining/helping out a Gnome User Group based in Chicago, Illinois in the United States. I was looking at the list of Gnome User Groups and noticed that there was a lack of US based user groups so I decided that I would try to correct this problem. I know there is a strong tech base in Chicago with Google, Red Hat and IBM. I am actively involved in the Free/Open Source Software community in Chicago, I work with the Chicago GNU/Linux User Group, http://chiglug.org and I also help out with packaging for Foresight Linux. Foresight Linux is the base for the new Gnome Live CD. If you are interested in helping out, a couple of us are hanging out in #gnome-chi on irc.gnome.org please stop by and say Hello. Also, if anybody has any information about starting a Gnome user group or information learned during the process of running a user group please pass it along. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -specialKevin Kevin Harriss -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
