== Minutes ==
* Statement of support for the SFC's campaign
* Discussed on the mailing list, all in support
* Delegated to the Engagement team
* Marc Dunivan and Drew Adams' questions regarding SCALE
* Do we have a presence at SCALE and Ubucon lately? Not that we know of. We
used to have volunteers attending SCALE and manning a booth there some years
ago, but they moved into different states/countries now.
* SCALE is 21st of January, too late for this year
* Need to recover and revamp the north-american Event Box (engagement team to
evaluate the gear that it needs now)
* Need local people to step up (hi, foundation-list!) to make this initiative
happen again
* ACTION: Allan to get back to Drew and Adam saying we can't pull off a booth
now, but we can send stickers/promo materials and we're interested for the
future
* J-P Mengual's partnership request (for accessibility work)
* What would the partnership concretely entail?
* We can definitely support them in promoting their crowdfunding campaign
* They are a for-profit company, it looks like the role they want to have is
to manage how the development work happens
* We don't want to be collecting money for a for-profit company
* Need clarification on what they mean exactly with URLs exchange
* ACTION: Cosimo to get back to them
* Sysadmin fundraising levels and perks
* Same amount, or bigger (or lower) amount than the previous fundraiser?
* We are in a different situation than 2010, would we be able to raise as
much?
* The previous figure of 40k sounds like a really hard sell nowadays.
* The tricky part if aiming high (or higher) is it looks bad if we don't
hit it
* The idea is to raise money from new companies, such as hosting companies,
but it's a large task and needs connections from inside those companies (hi,
foundation list?)
* We can always do with more help. An alternative approach could be to
request sysadmin time from our sponsors?
* General feeling it would be good, but probably needs training, or it would
feel alien to the community
* ACTION: Jeff to talk to Andrea and Patrick to get a good estimation of how
many hours per week we would routinely need to keep things going, then we could
try to aim for a specific number that covers e.g. a full year
* GNOME logo use as avatar
* Precedent of the "I am GNOME" logo, which was semi-officially recommended
as a badge/avatar during 3.0 days
* Probably we should have clearer guidelines about when to use or not the
logo, and redirect people to the "I am GNOME" logo for that purpose
* Further discussion deferred
