Re: Simple Idea for Gnome Journal
Hi,
I did a couple of these back in the day when I doing the GNOME Weekly
summaries. One of the ideas was to extend interviews and put up a
gallery on the website so everyone would know the contributors.
Two things:
a. They aren't that well-read other than if the person says
something really outstanding. People like celebrity and
controversy. If it's Linus then everyone cares what {insert
personal item like favourite jam/movie/car} you like ... if don't have
a profile no-one cares. Readers did seem interested in computer
questions that they could learn from or identify personally with - like
how X got into Linux, experiences of GNOME, favourite applications,
favourite sites, gnome tips and anything about future of GNOME/app
etc. Controversy obviously gets interest.
b. Ask open questions, and you'll probably have to heavily edit
the answers - don't feel it has to be a transcript. Just have the
interviee check the final copy to ensure that it's captured what they'd
like to say. You can pick the most interesting answers from a
range of questions.
Sometimes the value is in being recognised; Miguel's been interviewed a
hundred times, but the longest contributor to the bugsquad probably
hasn't.

Buzz measurement with Blogs
Hi, A long time back Sri asked about using blogs to measure buzz: bearing mind that blogs are a small microcosm. I do this a fair amount and find the icerocket trends graphic really useful. Here's one to measure GNOME, KDE and linux desktop over 3 months: http://trend.icerocket.com/trend?query1=gnome+linux+OR+gnome+desktoplabel1=query2=kde+linux+OR+kde+desktoplabel2=query3=linux+desktoplabel3=days=90 You can of course do stuff like GNOME rules vrs GNOME sucks: http://trend.icerocket.com/trend?query1=%22gnome+rules%22+linux+OR+%22gnome+rulez%22+linuxlabel1=query2=%22gnome+sucks%22+linuxlabel2=query3=label3=days=90 It's pretty hard to tune the search for GNOME the desktop rather than for the fabled animal, I used: gnome rules linux OR gnome rulez linux VERSUS gnome sucks linux It's not fool poof but is a general indicator and helps you find posts you can respond to. For example it turns out that someone's been blogging about things that sucks in GNOME but is a GNOME contributor and another that gnome sucks less memory now. You can also build watch lists on pubsub.com, it seems to have the most sources but gets spammed a lot.

Re: Buzz measurement with Blogs
I've enjoyed blogpulse: http://www.blogpulse.com/trend?query1=kde+desktoplabel1=kdequery2=gnome+desktoplabel2=gnomequery3=label3=days=90 I use 'gnome desktop' and 'kde desktop', which seems to work well across a variety of blog search tools. It would be interesting for someone to correlate those spikes with particular bits of news. Presumably the december spike on both camps was Linus; I have no idea what happened in late January to spike us.

Promotion campaign for GNOME 2.14 release?
All, According to the timeline (http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirteen) we're about a month away from GNOME 2.14 product release. Aside from release notes what about doing a promotional campaign for the products launch? This would be an ideal way to generate some buzz and interest in our offering. Some ideas: - Do web buttons for launch day As the blogs show our community is very web savvy. The easiest way we could promote GNOME and get some buzz would be have community members and users to put links/buttons and banners on their site. A small and easily achievable version of the spread firefox campaign (http://www.spreadfirefox.com/). Things we would need: - someone to draw buttons/banners - someone to put them up on the site - someone to e-mail/blog about putting them up on any supporters site. Note: be brilliant if we could do something automated/animated that counted down until launch and then afterwards was just a standard button. - Encourage blog posts We should encourage and actively solicit people to blog about their GNOME 2.14 experiences during the release period and particularly after launch. We can remind people about the key features so they have some areas to concentrate on. With our performance improvements even people who may previously been negative should look again. Things we could do: - encourage testers - encourage testers to blog their experiences - actively look for past blog posts referencing GNOME experiences and ask people to have another go. - ask supporters/users to blog how they are finding GNOME now - favourite things in GNOME. - Come up with something wacky You may remember that when Evolution 1.0 was released there was some wackiness - http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/2002/evolution/ Has anyone got any ideas on how we could do something similarly creative? Things we need: - someone to come up with an idea - commitment from people to make it happen - Actively contact media that has previously reviewed us Contact media/outlets that have previously reviewed GNOME and tell them about our new upcoming release. This gives them a chance to try again, and we can help by being available with assistance or commentary. - someone to draw up a list of previous reviews (some on live.gnome.org already) - people who will actively contact media - someone to split media by contact and check that all are followed up. - Contact traditional media that has not reviewed us. Try for traditional media that hasn't previously reviewed us and see if they would be interested in trying. We can send a liveCD or whatever. We'd probably need some specific stories for particular classes of media: for general computing media the line could be that GNOME 2.14 brings VOIP to all with Ekiga. - someone has to draw up a list of features for 2.14 - list of media verticals/specific sites/magazines to approach - list of approaches for each vertical - set of people who will approach some of the media outlets. Anyone agree this is a good idea AND willing to work on it? Steve -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
