Hi, Brian Cameron wrote: * Executive Director Hiring Process ... o Discussion about whether we should hire other staff (event manager, fund raiser, marketing for GNOME 3) in addition to or instead of an Executive Director. Perhaps hiring someone to work on marketing for GNOME 3 would make a lot of sense with the release date approaching. I would hire the ED first, and have them make a proposal. I don't think we have the resources to hire someone to do marketing, perhaps a one-off agency contract. But we could definitely take on a couple of marketing interns once we have an ED to manage them. I'm definitely in favour of a part-time events person - sionce we're doing a lot of events, there is more than enough work for them, and I think that they will make their own money back by making things even more efficient better structuring our conference sponsorship offerings. * For Libre Graphics reimbursements, The GNOME Foundation is waiting for receipts. Do the LGM organisers concerned attendees know? :) * Justin Colannino from the Software Freedom Law Center sent the board an email with the form to register the GNOME trademark to review before submission. Have you talked to Luis about the trademark registration process he went through some years ago? He spent a lot of time regularising the situation in 2007/2008.

Desktop Summit Program Committee
Heya! I just wanted to let everybody know that we have chosen the members of the paper committee for the Desktop Summit 2011. Note that this is going to be a single program committee for the entire conference, equally covering proposals originating from the GNOME side and from the KDE side of things (and evertyhing else that is submitted without any particular background). The people in the committee are: Emmanuele Bassi (Intel) Kevin Krammer (KDAB) Ryan Lortie (Codethink) Thiago Macieira (Nokia) Michael Meeks (Novell) Bastien Nocera (Red Hat) Celeste Lyn Paul (Academic) Lydia Pintscher (Academic) Lennart Poettering (Red Hat) Cody Russell (Canonical) Cornelius Schumacher (Novell) Aaron Seigo (Nokia) Yes, 12 people are a lot. It was our intention to make sure that we always have a few people in the committee who know a particular field particularly well. We do not expect everybody on this list to vote on every proposal. Six have been chosen from the GNOME side, and six from the KDE side.
