Re: [guadec-list] Next meeting?
Hi all, I apologize for neither organizing nor attending these meetings the last few months. Since returning from travel in March, my wife has been sick and my work schedule has been crazy, but things are finally getting better. Anyway, I plan to attend this meeting on Friday.16:00 UTC is 09:00 here in San Francisco. Best regards, Bob Murphy P.S. I will not be able to attend GUADEC this year - my contract programming work has gotten very busy, and I can't take the time off. :-( P.P.S. Has the board decided whether 2013 will be a GUADEC or a Desktop Summit?

A few more possibilities, both for GUADEC sponsorship and being on the GNOME advisory board: Lab126, the division of Amazon that develops the Kindle.

Some contact names there are Saldy Antony (manages WebKit development), David Berbessou (Director of Engineering), and Howard Look (VP Software). TouchTunes is a Montreal-based company that uses GNOME technologies to build digital jukeboxes. Contacts there are Francois Beaumier (Director, Music Applications Development) and Michael Tooker (senior VP for technology and operations). Linaro is a consortium of ARM chip companies and related software firms that supplies and promotes a common Linux development platform. Contacts include Michael Opdenacker (Community Manager) and Christian Reis (VP of Engineering). Tivo's open-source tree shows they use some lower-level GNOME technologies including libxml2 and libxslt. A contact there is Karl Glynn (Senior Director, Software Engineering). Garmin used GNOME technologies in their GPS devices in 2009, but it's not clear whether they're still doing it. > Typically for sponsors, we have, in the past 2-3 years, preferred a model > where we think holistically about how much money we ask companies for during > the year, through the board, and have the Executive Director handle these > relationships.

[guadec-list] GUADEC 2012 Sponsor Perks
Hi, During the last GUADEC committee IRC meeting, there was quite a bit of discussion about potential perks to offer sponsors. Here's a summary, and my take on them. 1. Free passes I know some sponsors would expect at least some free passes in return for sponsorship. If attendance is free, like the last DS, this is moot. 2. A special dinner or party with key GNOME contributors A "selling point" for sponsors is informal networking with decision-makers and influencers in the community. From that perspective, I would prefer a party to a sit-down dinner. 3. Sponsorship level bump I think it would be challenging to say exactly how many previous GUADECs a sponsor would need to have sponsored to earn this. 4. Discounts on sponsorship amounts I like the idea of a 6% discount for previous sponsors which would go to 10% if the sponsor increased their level compared to last time, and opening this to all previous sponsors.

[guadec-list] [Minutes] GUADEC committee meeting on 24 October 2011 UTC 14:00
Meeting Minutes Attending bobert_: Bob Murphy gpoo: Germán Poó-Caamaño karenesq: Karen Sandler kittykat teuf: Christophe Fergeau txenoo: Chema Casanova williamfromtexas: William Carlson yippi: Brian Cameron Summary Local team update The university's Faculty Dean has confirmed the facility booking. txenoo described the facilities. Publicity and Infrastructure Since the dates have been set, consensus was to do a press release, and publish them on 2012.guadec.org as soon as the local team can arrange that. txenoo has emailed the gnome.org sysadmins, and filed a bug in GNOME bugzilla, to get control of the guadec.org website. Sponsors Much discussion on the sponsor brochure; plans are to review a new draft of the text content at the next meeting. Further discussion on sponsorship levels, and on layout/design assistance. Distro summit and other special tracks/topics yippi described the summits at GNOME Asia and the DS. He summarized them as being very useful, but would benefit from more organization and publicity to get more distros engaged, make sure the right people from each distro attend, and make sure important issues are addressed. Some businesses in the embedded/mobile sectors may also want to send people, since they effectively create their own GNOME-based distros. txenoo suggested organizing a half-day track on the 26th or 30th. williamfromtexas suggested UI/visual design as a special topic. txenoo suggested we get feedback from the advisory board; karenesq agreed to take it up with them. Program committee There were discussions of how this worked in previous years and how the members had been selected. The possibility of a "blind" approach (selecting proposals without knowing who proposed them) was raised, but several objections were raised, and the consensus was not to do this. txenoo proposed a sequence of steps to organize the program committee, and said jjsanchez from the local committee had volunteered to do them with txenoo's assistance. Action Items Local team Sponsor brochure updates Set up etherpad for press release draft bobert Add info to sponsor brochure draft on business sponsor benefits Send email on sponsor brochure Ask marketing list for assistance on sponsor brochure, especially visual design jjsanchez/txenoo Begin steps to organize program committee karenesq Send out a press release announcing the dates. Review legal terms for sponsor brochure Add info to sponsor brochure draft on why GUADEC is in the public interest Discuss possible special topics/tracks with the advisory board. williamfromtexas Sponsor brochure updates ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list

[guadec-list] Leading into next GUADEC meeting
Hi, Here are a few topics that came up during the last IRC meeting that we might want to think about before Monday's meeting. - Distro summit: Brian Cameron mentioned that there was a very successful distro meeting at the last GNOME Asia, and suggested we might want to host something similar at GUADEC. - Sponsors: We need to put together a small group from the local and international teams to work on the sponsor brochure, and once that's done, to contact possible sponsors. I think discussions on this should move to one of the private email lists. - Sponsor opportunities: Some non-distro companies might appreciate other ways to interact with the GNOME development community. There was some discussion in the last IRC meeting about lightning talks or demo slots. Another example could be chip vendors, who might want to provide a lab, training, and/or discounts on prototype hardware. What other ways are there to provide value to sponsors that would also benefit the community, and what would we want to pursue around this?

I've put together an agenda, which is at the bottom of the email. It's pretty detailed, and is structured so that if we don't get to the last items during this meeting, that's okay. Best regards, Bob Murphy Agenda -- 1. GUADEC 2012 a. How are things going for the local A Coruña team? b. How can this committee help the local team now? c. Email list and IRC organization i. Is the approach discussed at the link at the bottom the best way to organize things for 2012? ii. Is the guadec-planning list alive? Who has control of that now, and how can we add people? d. Website (http://guadec.org/) i. Who has control of this now? Should that transfer to someone else? ii. How can we put something interesting and exciting there early? e. Suggestions for potential sponsors; volunteer to create/update sponsorship brochure f. Begin thinking about call for papers, press, publicity, promoting attendance 2. Next Meeting a. Time: Some members would prefer to meet at 16:00 UTC. b. Date: Two weeks from this meeting will be 10 October, which is during the Montreal GNOME Summit. If that will be a problem for people, we can meet the next week. 3. Desktop Summit a. Informal feedback: we expect a report from the DS organizers, but if there was anything people attending the meeting thought went especially well or could have been improved, that would be interesting to know. b. We need a volunteer to update the GUADEC planning pages with "lessons learned" from this informal feedback and the report. 4. Open Discussion Anything else we might want to talk about.

I was thinking that no matter which is decided, the conference location is usually a university. That being so, I believe it would be ideal to issue the request for bids early next year to give the bidding groups plenty of time to coordinate with staff and faculty, and complete and submit their bids before summer break.

Re: [guadec-list] Organizing GUADEC 2012
Hi, > Draft call for sponsorship, call for paper documents etc > Share Sponsors' contact > Have regular meetings (usually IRC) I'd like to return to having the GUADEC committee meet every two weeks on IRC, and start this coming Monday, 26 September, at 14:00 UTC. I'll email an agenda in a day or so, and would welcome suggestions for topics to discuss Emily mentioned that she was the only person attending the IRC meetings from Asia, and that we might want to switch the time to one that's more convenient for the other members. I'm very interested in that; 14:00 UTC is a little early for me (7 AM California time), and it will change to 6 AM for me on 6 November. So please let me know if a later time, such as 16:00 UTC, would be a problem for you. > Focus on continually improving the process, including post-event reports. I think this is great, and would like to contact the organizers of the recent DS to get their comments and suggestions. Is there somebody on the GNOME Foundation Board I should work with on that? Otherwise, I will plan to contact them directly. Also, I'd like to start early on the bids process for 2014, and the big question for that is, of course, will 2014 be a GUADEC or a Desktop Summit? How is that decided, and when is that decision likely to be made? > The event committee would help with international sponsorship opportunities > while the local team would likely focus more on local sponsorship > opportunities. This is also a great idea. The members of the GUADEC committee are located all over the globe, and have contact with many organizations who could be sponsors. On a related note, I really like the Berlin DS Sponsorship Opportunities brochure, and I think we create do one like it for GUADEC 2012. It makes it very plain to potential sponsors what their options are, and what benefits they can get. Best regards, Bob Murphy P.S. Are any of the folks on this list planning to attend the Montreal GNOME Summit? I will be there, and will be happy to buy you a beer or other beverage. :-) ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
[guadec-list] A couple of questions
Hi, What location was chosen for next year's GUADEC? I wasn't able to attend the Desktop Summit and haven't heard. Also, will we be having another meeting of the GUADEC committee online soon? Thanks, Bob Murphy ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list

Good point, Stormy - I did that, too. Now we just need to start contacting people to encourage them to bid. Does anybody know who, if anybody, has already submitted a bid to hold the 2012 GUADEC? - Bob On Jun 7, 2011, at 10:28 AM, Stormy Peters wrote: > And maybe some indicator of whether or not these places have put in a bid?

Re: [guadec-list] GUADEC committee Meeting Time
Hi, Any of them should work, but I would prefer Monday if possible. The next week would be better, though. Do you have a guess on how long the meeting is likely to run?
