Hi, gugmasters-l...@gnome.org It's currently mostly inactive, and is missing some representatives from a number of user groups, but it has about 2/3rds of the GUGs I am aware of represented.

Marketing Hackfest Kickoff - GNOME 3.0 Website Feedback Requested
Hi, We're just a couple of weeks away from the Marketing Hackfest. One of the ideas that's come up is to have a GNOME 3.0 specific website (or subsite). I don't know if this means it will use the new Plone CMS that's currently being set up or something else, but for the moment that's not important. I'd like to gather community feedback (that's you!) on what you'd like to see a GNOME 3.0 website feature. Please reply to the list - everyone's feedback is welcome! Thanks. Best, Paul -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Best, Paul For me, I've seen 3.0 demonstrations a couple of times, including at the last Marketing hackfest in Chicago. And honestly, I couldn't quite grasp what 3.0 is truly about. A lot of cool exciting words thrown about, but it looked also like something that requires quite a bit of learning curve if you're used to the old way and are a creature of habit (like me!) Learning is always the single biggest challenge in any adoption. So I suggest marketing 3.0 by teaching how to use it right off the bat. Create some simulations on the website where people can abe guided step by step. Not a read-through tutorial, but an actual simulation. if you do this step, watch what happens. Bravo. Now let's try another trick Bravo... Next.. and so on. People can get a rudimentary feel for how to use 3.0 and feel less intimidated than when they try it out of the box. This would reduce telling people RTFM, dude! (which I hate) and would help close the gaps between the knows and dont-knows. It also can give a user experience to those out there who haven't tried GNOME/FOSS and can get a little taste of it before actually trying GNOME/FOSS. That's my thought right out of the gate here. How easy it is to actually create such a simulation? I wouldn't know. :-) Bryen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Bouncing off the November hackfest: we should point to interactions between maintainers and anyone else on social networks where possible. Facebook doesn't really allow that (I think?) but we could do that with the microblog and blogging sites. Or maybe we just aggregate a whole bunch of social media sources like a microblog version of Planet GNOME? -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Hi Everyone, I'm writing today in order to introduce myself, and to offer my help at the marketing hackfest in Zaragoza in May. Some of you may know me from the OpenOffice.org community, where I was the marketing contact for the US for 6 years. I now work for Initmarketing an international Marketing Agency and Consultancy focused entirely on Open Source Software. We have an interesting mix of traditional marketing skills, and deep Open Source experience on our roster. We are expanding our business into the independent Foundations and Associations in the Open Source space, last year we did a marketing strategy for the Typo3 Association. I approached Stormy about what, if anything, Initmarketing can do for the GNOME Foundation. She brought Paul Cutler into the conversation, and we started talking about the GNOME 3 launch. Initmarketing partners have been involved in planning and executing dozens of successful product launches, and it seems like a good place to focus our effort. Stormy suggested that the GNOME Foundation could sponsor my travel to Zaragoza in order to help the marketing team draft a plan for Marketing the GNOME 3 launch. Initmarketing's founder has agreed to let me work at the Marketing Hackfest pro-bono, under the hopes that we can help some of the GNOME sponsors, especially the distributions, co-market the release. I hope this works out, and I'm looking forward to possibly meeting some of you in Zaragoza. -- Ryan Singer Initmarketing http://initmarketing.com/ +1-650-924-2785 -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
