Well is a reason I'm so exciting about Builder and have encouraged [1] [2] our community to support Christian's effort.
I know there have been suggestions [3] [4] about doing some kind research among web starts-up about what exact tools they use/need. I wounder if some companies really understand that by founding some work which would be for a well founded company a very small investment they could make really great, needed improvements of our platform. A second question is if people who have talked to start-ups have mentioned this possibly? A third question is can the foundation do the proceess of founding specific work that needs to be done to enhance our platform easier? > * At least in Portland, GNOME is a very well recognized brand, 7/10 > times it needs no explanation; similar story among developers in some venues > in NYC; we have a strong brand +1 Its also my impression that GNOME is a loved brand, thus I think its important that we a) Nurture it b) Think more about how we can it use to our advantage c) Be better at telling our story. Of course every task involve a subject of smaller tasks and is something that takes a good amount of time and is depending on people's efforts. 1 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/engagement-list/2014-December/msg00026.html 2 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/engagement-list/2015-January/msg00028.html 3 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/engagement-list/2014-December/msg00004.html 4 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/engagement-list/2014-December/msg00010.html -- -mvh Oliver Propst _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
