Co-ordinating GUADEC schedule after Monday
Hi all, There's a very rough provisional schedule for GUADEC and Akademy starting to solidify now - and I'd like to see us have a smidgin of structure to affairs after the core sessions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The very rough schedule is below, and on the website. To summarise, we have 3 days set aside for core sessions talks, followed by 4 days for BOFs, hacking sessions, local language talks, and themed sessions. On Tuesday, the GNOME Foundation advisory board will meet all day. while this will take some key people out of circulation for the day (both company representatives and board members), it shouldn't stop us from organising BOFs. On Wednesday, the foundation AGM will be held (probably in the morning), and we will have a GNOME Mobile themed day for the other half-day. On Thursday, Edu day is planned, with some talks and BOFs lined up by the local organisers around the theme of free software in education. Finally, on Friday, GUADEC-es will target hackers with Spanish language presentations. What I would like to see is for us to have 2 or 3 pretty disjoint themes per day or half-day, with a co-ordinator, where we federate good content which wasn't accepted for the core days, and brainstorming/BOF type sessions led by the community leaders in the area. I would like to see a Documentation half-day, a l10n/i18n half-day, an a11y summit, a Web Integration day, and why not a GNOME 3.0 brainstorming/design/hackfest day? Are there any groups out there who have already planned to get together, who would like to run a themed half-day (or full-day) and who have people who would be prepared to take on the subject and run with it, co-ordinate BOFs and presentations, and generally make their sessions rock? We can co-ordinate schedules on the gcds list: http://mail.grancanariadesktopsummit.org/mailman/listinfo/gcds, which I hope everyone attending the conference is subscribed to, or on guadec-list - or just reply here. Thanks for the interest! Cheers, Dave. Saturday July 4th: Desktop Summit Track * Opening Talks(10:00) * Desktop Summit track. Keynotes.

Fwd: Dot-Org Zone at OpenSource World
If you are interested in hosting the GNOME booth at OpenSource World, please let GNOME marketing know, marketing-l...@gnome.org. Stormy -- Forwarded message -- From: Don Marti dma...@zgp.org Date: Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 7:32 PM Subject: Dot-Org Zone at OpenSource World To: Don Marti dma...@zgp.org (You are receiving this mail because you're a previous participant in the .org area at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, or because you have applied or expressed interest in a booth in the .org area.) This year, the show has a new format with a sponsor showcase instead of the large trade show area. The sponsor showcase is designed to make it easier for smaller, innovative companies to exhibit on a turnkey basis, instead of rolling out the whole circus of a conventional trade show. Changes from the old LinuxWorld include: show schedule: the new format is one day of community day events, then two days of regular keynotes and technical sessions. This format should be familiar to Southern California Linux Expo attendees. Cloud and Data Center: co-located with CloudWorld and Next Generation Data Center. Those have their own programs with separate program committees, and are likely to attract an overlapping but different IT audience. Time to break out of preaching to the choir? Admission price: $0. Previously there was a very easy-to-get exhibits only pass and a relatively expensive full conference pass. Now, there's a single pass, free of charge to qualified attendees (plus, of course, .org volunteers.) The .Org Zone at OpenSource World will be located in a dedicated meeting room adjacent to the sponsor showcase area. It will feature ten projects and organizations, selected by the Program Committee. We're looking for organizations that want to connect with our audience of IT professionals. OpenSource World is focusing on sysadmins and working IT managers, not just developers and user group members. This area is for projects that do not have a single main corporate backer or sponsor -- however there is a special rate on booth space in the main sponsor showcase area for all dot-orgs, including in-house or semi-in-house ones. Organizations will receive a table for display and discussion, electricity, and signage. To apply, please fill out the web form at: http://216.34.99.32/survey/253297/1252/ If you have any questions about participating in OpenSource World this year, please mail me at dma...@zgp.org, or call me at 510-332-1587. If I can't answer your question I'll put you in touch with the right person at IDG World Expo HQ. I know there are a lot of open source event opportunities this year, but I hope you'll be able to participate in the event that's offering free of charge access to open source content and conversation for the IT people who need it. Thank you for your support of LinuxWorld, and looking forward to your support for OpenSource World in the future.

The GNOME Foundation Needs Your Help
Dear Foundation members, The 2009 yearly budget has been released. For the past couple of years the GNOME Foundation has been running a healthy surplus in contributions. As a result, year after year we have been expanding GNOME related activities and events. Last year we had the opportunity to further increase the Foundation's value to its members by hiring the highly respected Stormy Peters as our Executive Director. When that decision was made no one could have predicted the global economic downturn and the impact it would have on our industry. While Stormy has managed to get a number of new corporate sponsors and we have enough to keep paying her for this current budget cycle, we are still projecting that without a significant influx of steady contributions we will be unable to keep an Executive Director on the payroll without cutting into the activities budget. As the economy persists on this roller coaster of ups and downs, the Foundation is rolling with the punches and looking for ways to best serve our members. While we can look at this downturn as a time to tighten our belts, I would much rather look at this as an opportunity for the community to take a stake in the future of the Foundation and show that we are not exclusively reliant on corporate coffers to grow GNOME. If you haven't donated in the past, now is the time to start by becoming a Friend of GNOME or donating at any of the contribution levels. If you do currently donate to GNOME, look to see if you can contribute a tiny bit more on a monthly basis. Every little bit helps. Remember these funds go to programs like hackfests and putting on local conferences. It also goes to paying for our staff of two who along with the part time and overworked board construct the strategies for facilitating the growth of GNOME. The Foundation has served us well over the years and will continue to serve us regardless of the outcome of the current economic climate. The real tragedy would be to no longer have the funds to retain Stormy's services. Stormy's contributions in kicking our butts to finish ongoing projects as well as start new ones and bringing in new streams of funding are remarkable in themselves, and even more so in the current climate. Losing Stormy now would be sort of like having this shiny new plane but neglecting to build the runway long enough for it to take off. The best of what Stormy has to offer has yet to be seen. I can tell you for a fact that without her the Foundation will be less effective in its mission. Please go to the Friends of GNOME site at http://www.gnome.org/friends/ to donate. We need your ongoing support. Donations allow us to accelerate the adoption and development of GNOME while our paid staff allows us to be more effective with those donations. Whatever you can give will ensure the continued good works of the GNOME Foundation. Thanks on behalf of the Board, John (J5) Palmieri ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
GNOME Store
Hi, a few of us were chatting in #marketing in IRC today, and one topic that came up, that I believe has come up before, is the creation of a GNOME Store to sell merchandise, such as t-shirts. Stormy has previously talked to Zazzle, who runs the Mozilla store (http://store.mozilla.org/), and it sounds like it's very easy to get up and running with them. I'd like to propose we form a small team. Longer term, they'd be responsible for reviewing new artwork from the community, helping decide which logos should be on different kinds of merchandise, helping manage sales or clearance items, and maybe even develop some limited time special merchandise for sale, in addition to managing the website. Short term, we need the team to implement the store. Action items I can think of off the top of my head: * Get a GNOME mailing list setup (gnome-store?) * Get some artwork - In addition to our foot logo, is there previously created GNOME artwork or logos that we can use? * Get the artwork to Zazzle and decide what kind of merchandise we want to launch with * Create the GNOME store web pages in the gnomeweb-wml (What else am I missing?) Going forward if we can form a steering committee to help manage and launch this, it might provide some small income to help the Foundation. If we can get some volunteers, especially from the art team and web team, and anyone else, we might be able to get something going. I'm more than happy to lend a hand if there is interest in getting something like this going.
