It would make sense to send a summary of activities related to Foundation, so people know why their contribution was so important to us. Even only twice a year like Paul says, it would be good. -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
