Hi Vikram, 2010/2/19 Vikram Dhillon dhillon...@gmail.com: I'll give the download page a final review and start working on the Latest Sources stuff. Any advice before I get working? Thanks. It seems that Darton is already working on the Download section (including the latest source page). Maybe you could focus on another part of the content? A final review on the Download section is welcome anyway. Assign yourself to the pages in the content table here: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/TwoPointTwentyseven/Content Once you got a final draft or review, update the table and send a quick not about the draft to web and marketing list.

Website - News and Press Releases
Hi, I've the necessary content updates to allow us to post press releases on the new website. They are under a 'Press/Media' folder in the Contact section. http://website-editors.gnome.org/contact/press/releases I started importing the existing press releases to our CMS. So far, I've migrated all press releases from 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. Need volunteers to finish this as there still quite many press releases to import. Anyone? Some general guidelines: - Each press release is added as a 'News entry' in the 'Press Releases' folder. - I'm trying to keep the same page names than the current website. So, if a press release page is '2009-11-guadec2010.html', the respective press release entry in the new website will have a '2009-11-guadec2010' short name. If have to enable short name editing in your profile to be able to define short names on website content items. - Set the publish date to the same date than the original press release - Keep same title than the original - Copy/pasting the content in the Plone text editor gives good results, no need for extra editing. We need a volunteer to import all news from the current website to Plone too.

There are other concerns, and this campaign was designed to be a generic campaign that would allow other campaigns to brew from this one, mainly to support GNOME through art. I am proposing with this campaign the following: 1. Give names to GNOME Releases based on endangered species which share strong points with the main features of GNOME. This is appealing to users and at some point allows the usage of a more catchy name for every release, thus we promote a social responsible cause and broaden our contributors to a new standard, including organizations which promote several endangered species through the donation of art and media such as high resolution pictures, movies, etc. This is also a great opportunity to advocate the usage of Free Standards. 2. Support the existing GNOME artistic community through the availability of donated media. 3. Stimulate Open Desktop standard through following up campaigns and call for help campaigns that are aimed to introducing GNOME to more people and thus increase our artists. 4. Provide grounds that can improve the concept people have around GNOME, and earn more muscle. I would deeply like that everyone could advance with suggestions for this campaign and place in personal comments so I can work to make it an attractive campaign and take it from paper into implementation. Despite I don't need help to make this happen, as I am willing to offer my time to gather for support between other organizations, to work in the wiki campaign page, and whatever is necessary, I would like to have someone that can speak in the name of GNOME Foundation to follow this so that it complies with the vision behind GNOME. Please flame at will... Nelson The SOS Lynx (http://www.soslynx.com) has confirmed support if we advance with this campaign through the donation of high resolution images and videos about the lynx. This is a great thing I suppose. During this thread it was mentioned the issue of the Lynx being a big cat and Apple using big cats (from a marketing point of view, I would favor the Lynx for starting up, specially because of Apple, but I understand the concerns, and this is not compared to label a distribution as Temujin (Genghis Kahn, the Impaler). I'm also working on Red Wolfes and Spyder Monkeys until someone comes up with further suggestions, this not set on stone and can be changed). I would request from the list that someone who has good communication channel with the developers to point me or eventually report to the list the strongest points of the GNOME 3.0, like security, flexibility, etc and the technology behind them, so we can establish a parallelism with the species focused for that release. We can most likely create a release video sharing this parallelism. I can find someone to create such video (professional, working on pro bono) if I get a script/guidelines of what we need to focus for the release. I'm also working on a final revision of the document supplied without grammar errors and more objective/insightful so we can file it for later consult if needed. And from this point on (doesn't affect final revision of the document, as it will keep the same issues), I'm waiting for a go. If this GO arrives, I'll need access to write a Wiki page for the Save the Wildlife Campaign. If someone can provide me a contact of someone who can represent the GNOME Artists community so we can start working on the depot for submited materials would be great. Anything else, feel free to share. Nelson. Nelson, Thanks for doing this. However, my biggest concern about the SOS Lynx is the fact that Ubuntu will has codenamed their upcoming 10.04 release Lucid Lynx. I'm happy to support the idea of codenaming releases with the release team, but I think the Lynx is too confusing in the marketplace between the GNOME and Ubuntu brands. Are there are any other potential choices we could use? Paul -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
