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/msg4.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

Oh, this was not written down in the minutes, but the last two topics (reviewing tasks, ED search) were not touched upon during the meeting, they were deferred (as it often happens given the big amount of topics that need discussion); we were already well over our allocated meeting time that day and we saw them as being big topics each. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Hmm, remaining? Was some of the money spent already? What was it spent on? The GNOME Privacy project funds were never touched, seems a bad phrasing was used and the text became misleading.

Clearly, we don't have anything new to report on that front. However, I do plan on having a discussion at FOSDEM and figure out how to go about organizing this. We should have some relevant people there to start a discussion. At the moment, myself, Marina, and Kat are responsible in putting this together. I'll post an update after FOSDEM since there are some of you who are interested in this. sri ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Already have a couple of qualified volunteers I like this idea, however in my day to day hacking and speaking, I already unofficially advocate for GNOME. Examples: when speaking at conferences, visiting hackerspaces, talking to random people, friends, and so on, I'm showing off a GNOME environment. One issue which could be (inexpensively) addressed by the foundation: I received ~four GNOME stickers from Karen Sandler when she was in Montreal. I've given them all out. If I had a bunch more it would surely (I think) help the marketing efforts. is there anyone out there who wants to send me a bunch? ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
