Short answer: [x] Yes to all Fundraising includes: preparing the campaign for Pitivi, shooting and editing videos for local non-profits (including the Québec equivalent of the FSF+EFF, and a professional symphonic orchestra run by a foundation), possibly some others I'm forgetting (besides everyday "business advice", that is). I've also been talking to adboard members and possible sponsors for specific GNOME initiatives, over email/by phone/in person. Talking with reporters: dealt with them on a few occasions, from afar and up close. Co-wrote various press releases. Did "press review" work for a client where I would monitor what is being said about an entire industry—locally and worldwide—across a few hundred news sources and provide a digest everyday by 7 AM (remember when I had to excuse myself from one of the sessions at GUADEC last year? That was why…). Been in a TV newsroom twice, though not as the one being interviewed in front of the cameras. The rest is pretty much visible on my personal homepage :) _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
