Having participated in the discussion during the Boston Summit and being a member of GNOME.Asia it seemed the participants in Boston needed both hackfests: one around the freeze period and one during the launch. As you might all know by now we have a pre-event survey up since about 3 weeks and received very good feedbacks to help us prepare. We are however definitely happy to collaborate with other events or share our plans with anyone interested to do something for the launch period. @Jason: please don't hesitate to get in touch with us either on or off the list.

Re: Marketing hackfest next year
@Brian: We need the hackfest in end of februari or beginning of march because of the Launch of GNOME 3. Gnome Asia is a convention that is on the same date as the release, so that does not match.

Gnome Asia is a convention that is on the same date as the release, so that does not match. As Brian and Fred said, the date of GNOME.Asia is not confirmed yet, we can always set the date of GNOME.Asia Hackfest in end of Feb or early March if it can help the GNOME 3.0 launch in terms of marketing. We initially set the date to April is due to some feedback from our survey, however, we are very flexible and willing to listen to advices. For your reference, our local organisers are preparing proposals to host the hackfest, potential venues will be in Hong Kong, Indonesia or India. The proposals will be submitted to us end of this month, I will definitely share those proposals with the marketing list with you. In order to get feedbacks to host this hackfest, we prepared a pre-event survey at http://survey.gnome.asia/ and asked our target audiences to join including the marketing team. The deadline of this pre-event survey is 16th Nov Tuesday, some abstracts of the pre-event survey is as below: We have 78 responses in total so far- 1) 63% respondents are from Asia. 2) 31% respondents involved with the GNOME 3.0 release 3) 70% respondents want to join the event 4) Most respondents prefer to host the event during or after the GNOME 3.0 release 5) HK is the leading hosting city, followed by Bali and Jakarta (Indonesia), Bangalore (India). 6) Most respondents prefer universities (50%) as venue, followed by resorts (31%) and offices (24%) 7) around 1/3 respondents can manage their travel cost by themselves, while 1/3 respondents asked to cover all their travel expenses, another 1/3 asked to cover part of their expenses 8) from the above respondents that need travel subsidy, 2/3 asked to sponsor below 1,200 USD, 1/3 asked to sponsor up to 2,000 USD 9) 6 of them are interested to be speakers in the one day conference and left their email addresses for us to contact them I will also share the detail results / statistics of this pre-event survey with you upon the deadline.

GNOME 3.0 official logo and banners
Hi, I wonder if there is any official GNOME 3.0 logo or banners so we can put them in our blog posts (when we talk about GNOME 3.0) or communities websites to promote GNOME 3.0? I tried to look for it in the GNOME wiki, but I cannot find any. - Pockey -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
