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.


Yes, Luis is involved in discussions.

Hi,

 * 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.

Do the LGM organisers  concerned attendees know? :)
