GUADEC website needs some love
Hi all, Koen and Sanne, the people leading GUADEC organisation this year, are having a lot of trouble finding people who are motivated and available to ensure that the GUADEC website is up to scratch, looking pretty and appetising, and with relevant content easy to find. First, have a look at http://www.guadec.org to see what the state of play is - it's a standard OpenConferenceWare set-up, from what I can tell, with very little styling or graphical content. Some suggested improvements which could get done quickly would be to start announcing keynotes for this year, or advertising past speakers keynotes (photos and content), creating a GUADEC logo for this year's conference (or at the very least, revisiting the old one which has been in use since 2006), and proposing an alternative layout styling which better matches GNOME's visual identity. Are there people here who have some time over the next couple of weeks to help them? I'm not sure where the CMS is installed, or what would be involved in getting changes made to it, but let's do what we can to improve the site and allow the GUADEC organisers to concentrate on the business of making the conference great.

Ehrmz, people are working on this. There is a new design, ready to go online. There's 3 people already on the web team. If anyone is interested in helping out, sure that'd be great. But the above text is perhaps a bit misleading. Gr, Koen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Perhaps I misunderstood Sanne's message earlier when he said: there are a lot of bridges to be crossed [snip] One is i.e. the still crappy GUADEC website, despite [our] efforts to have GNOME involvement here. What help do you need, then?

Thanks to everyone who worked on it and provided feedback. In the past 24 hours we've raised about $1,000 from individuals and had another $5,000 company match. I would like to keep the momentum going. I've blogged about it. Are others willing to blog about it over the next couple of days? Count on me... in 24h i'll blog about it. Thanks everyone! I just covered it on my blog (http://robertogaloppini.net), very cool! Best, Roberto -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
