Hello there
Hi there, Alberto Ruiz here, just got subscribed to the mailing list. As some of you may know, I did a talk on Marketing Gtk+ (as in GNOME the platform) last GUADEC (which, by the way, had pretty much no attendance due to being scheduled for the last slot of the last day). I haven't done much work around what I preached, but complaining so far, so I've recently switched to JFDI mode recently. Proposing marketing strategies to the community and not being part of the marketing mailing list was sort of a contradiction, but at the time I started I was in too many development mailing list. So here I am. I'm quite interested in the marketing side on all regarding our development platform rather than the desktop itself. I don't know what's being the trend around here so far so get ready to get a lot of questions from me on the ongoing discussions (if there are any). Well, I guess that's all for a presentation. -- Un saludo, Alberto Ruiz -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Friends of GNOME numbers
Thanks to everyone for making the new Friends of GNOME launch happen! Many thanks to Lucas, Andreas, Kalle, Zana and many others! Especially thanks to those on this list that reviewed the language and pages multiple times. Your work is paying off! Our numbers are looking good! - 35 subscribers - 39 additional donations (since Jan 1) - $2228 collected! Check out http://gnome.org/friends, sign up and spread the word! And don't forget the badges that Andreas created, http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/184285/fog-banners.tar.gz. Best, Stormy -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Re: GNOME Cause on Facebook
2009/1/20 Stormy Peters sto...@gnome.org: (I changed the subject because I think while this is a fundraising activity, it's not necessarily part of Friends of GNOME. I did create a Facebook group for Friends of GNOME. What Roberto is creating is a Cause not a group - Causes are meant for disseminating information and collect donations for non-profits.) Roberto is creating a GNOME Cause on Facebook like the Debian Cause: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Debian/9801962186. It will be a place to find out information about GNOME, the GNOME Foundation and to show support for GNOME. We can fill in the information section with whatever we want - Roberto has filled in information from our website and our 2009 goals from the Friends of GNOME page. We can also start discussions and post to the wall. It also has the option to allow people to donate to the GNOME Foundation directly from the Facebook Cause page. (Roberto, does this go to Paypal?) Donations to U.S. nonprofits are processed by our nonprofit partner Network for Good, an industry leader in processing online donations. Their 4.75% fee is used to pay banks, credit card companies, to distribute funds to nonprofits, and for other associated costs of donations through Causes on Facebook. For a $100 donation, $95.25 goes to the nonprofit and $4.75 goes to Network for Good. Network for Good does not profit from this fee. (source: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/help) I think this is good as it's a way to reach a new audience with information about what GNOME is. Thoughts? A blue version of the logo would probably suite better, I think. Are there any out there or does anyone want to help?

Thanks. I was thinking we could show these on the screen after people have donated, saying here's a badge for your website. Maybe the support GNOME one could be used by users who want to help just spreading the word? Debian has launched a Debian cause on FB, we might run similar initiatives and use it. I created a draft of the Support GNOME Cause on FB using the Causes application.I asked Stormy some hints and feedback and I am sure it still needs some tweaking (maybe a different logo, or the text, etc).
