Re: Introductions
Hello, my name is Brian Cameron and there is some information about me here: http://live.gnome.org/BrianCameron I have worked for Sun Microsystems (now becoming Oracle) for over 10 years, over 8 of those years on the GNOME project. I am on the GNOME Foundation board of directors and acting as the secretary. I am really more of a developer than a marketing person, but I have been involved with marketing-related discussions for the past few years, and attended the last Marketing hackfest in Chicago. Any board member often deals with marketing topics and opportunities, and one of the reasons I participate is because I think the GNOME marketing-list is one of the more important GNOME forums for board members to be involved with. I also tend to work closely with the GNOME legal team, and I tend to get involved with marketing issues that involve working with the legal team. For example, one marketing related task I am currently working on with the legal team is to put together more comprehensive trademark agreements so that GNOME is better prepared to license the GNOME brand to organizations who want to sell GNOME branded merchandise.

Re: Introductions
Brian, I can provide some documentation regarding Brand Management if you need. This is actually a complex subject. If you need help I can help with it as well. There's a very good publication from Philip Kotler (currently the top personality in Marketing) named "Brand Management", there is also a chapter in "Marketing Management" (the bible of Marketing) which covers some points. I have a large collection of books which I can share with whoever wants to take a look. Meanwhile I'll just compile some stuff that I have from my university which might be useful. Anything you need, just ask. Nelson. PS: I would assume GNOME is going to be taken as an "Umbrella brand", correct? > On Thu, 2010-02-11 at 09:23 -0600, Brian Cameron wrote: > > Hello, my name is Brian Cameron and there is some information about me > > here: > > > >http://live.gnome.org/BrianCameron > > > > I have worked for Sun Microsystems (now becoming Oracle) for over 10 > > years, over 8 of those years on the GNOME project.

Re: Issue 19 Planning
Paul, I've decided to change the scope of the article into something more interesting. I'm going to make the article based on interviews. I am waiting for AHEAD Reply and I'm going to take the suggestion from Luís and also interview the developers of Brasero. In addition I'm also contacting developers of Evince and Adobe regarding Acrobat Reader. I'm also going to include a small interview with Richard Stallman (already confirmed) and I'm waiting on Miguel de Icaza, which I also contacted. The scope of the article will be the following: From the point of view of a possible new migrating user from proprietary to open source what will he find on a free software platform, and how both free software and proprietary products are presented. I'm going to include a mini-SWOT (Strength/Weaknesses, Opportunity/Threats) analysis applied to products used for the same end (ie. Nero VS Brasero and Adobe Acrobat Reader VS Evince). What are the major concerns behind each of them and how their development is oriented and to which ends. This is interesting for our area aswel, as it will include Product Management strategies and Product Mix information. So would this kind of article be suitable for GNOME Journal? It's a generic article which I would believe that fits in the scope of our Marketing Team and Free Software promotion. Any suggestions opinions will be considered of course. Thanks, nelson.

Re: Issue 19 Planning
Hi, you may want to check the guidelines about article length: I think you're trying to cover too much ground in one move. It's either going to be too long and boring or about right and superficial. Your interview partners may not be satisfied with the result. Just my 2cents.

Re: Issue 19 Planning
Nelson, I'd say go ahead and go with this plan and if it ends up being far too long, we could always break it up into a multi-issue article. That sounds really interesting! I look forward to reading the interviews that you have lined up.

Re: Issue 19 Planning
Claus, I understand your concern, but I'm gonna publish the article under: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/us/ and will make it also available in OpenDocument Format and PDF. You can actually make the Abstract and if possible a link for a download of the article in a free format :) Well, the main idea is still there, except I've eliminated GNOME to avoid editorial cuts and any disambiguation of the brand. My goal is still the same, show our community and readers how corporations create a product based on marketing information, and how they select their users. I trully hope this inspires people to participate more, and evolve our products to a higher standard when it comes to target end users and newcomers. Nelson.

I'd also recommend you look through some of the Marketing Wiki pages[1]. I also started something similar last year with a Marketing Brief that covers some similar topics.[2] Additionally, we've been brainstorming possible marketing campaigns for GNOME 3.0[3], and at our recent hackfest this past September we landed on a theme, and I have a to-do from our meeting last month to work with the hackfest team and get it documented on the wiki (which I'm behind on). We're having a team meeting this Saturday at 16:00 UTC as well. Thanks.
