We also have a big gap in the training category of tasks for the code-in. Perhaps we should include videos targeted at users here? What do we think are good areas for this? Maybe a basic How do I get GNOME running on my computer video would be helpful? Anything else come to mind? We have to get all of our ideas up on the tasks wiki by tomorrow. I'll be on the plane tomorrow (one without internet, sadly) from pretty early, does someone want to do this? Otherwise, I'll check once I get to my hotel tomorrow and get it done on the later side. Actually, I'll try to put up there now what we have so far. karen Stormy On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 3:32 AM, Allan Day allanp...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 1:00 AM, Karen Sandler ka...@gnome.org wrote: Hey marketing team, Hopefully you saw André Klapper's email to desktop-devel about the Google Code-in: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2011-October/msg00175.html We only have a few days to add tasks, and at least 5 of them should be in the Community Outreach/marketing category.

I like all the ideas so far. We could ask for help on the 2011 annual report ... We could ask someone to make a website that shows where all the GNOME talks are and have been with links to any videos or slides.
