For example, let's say we will have a photo set called GNOME 3.0 Launch Party , everyone can view and vote on each photos. Is there better tools for Best Photo Competition? Anyone can suggest ? I have to agree regarding Flickr 'group' as a tool to do photo contest. We used it several time for Photographic background contest when I was working at Mdv. I also have a small C program to download all photo from a set, which can help to do selection locally. Thanks for offering. People will be interested to use your tool to download all photos locally. For the best photo, I am thinking the best way should be on-line. The most visited photo ? Do we officially create a set for Best photo, can we share the account to upload photos ? I've started a page with rules for the competition. Please check it over and let me know what you think. :) http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/LaunchParty/PhotoCompetition Best, Allan -- Blog: http://afaikblog.wordpress.com/ IRC: aday on irc.gnome.org -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: Fallback / Classic Mode
Alberto Ruiz wrote: Then again, I think we should keep the fallback mode as close to the 2.x look as possible tbh to avoid confusion. The confusion lies in the fact that the fallback mode is clearly made from GNOME 2 components. It would have been clearer if it were more divorced from the previous desktop. That said, fallback isn't *exactly* the same as GNOME 2.x. The message, as Olav has already pointed out, is that it is 'fallback', not 'classic' GNOME. It's what you get if you are unlucky enough not to be able to run the full GNOME 3 desktop. It isn't intended as something that users choose to use. (There is a switch in the control center that lets you force the fallback mode, however.) Maybe showing a startup splash explaining it the first time it falls back. There is one. It has a pretty picture of a sad computer, yearning for more GNOME 3 goodness. I don't particularly want to be talking about fallback in our marketing except for pointing out that it exists and is fine... thoughts? Do we need a warning somewhere about using VMs? Maybe on the try it page [1]?

Collaboration Summit media training
Hi all, A few months ago, I was talking to Jennifer Cloer, the Linux Foundation's Director of Communications, and I asked her if she'd ever considered running a media training session for free software developers, which would help us improve the situation. She was very enthusiastic about it, and we quickly agreed that the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit would be a great opportunity to make it happen. We made contact with Amanda McPherson, who thought it was a good idea, and the deal was done. On Thursday April 7th (the day after the release of GNOME 3.0!), we will run a 4 hour session aimed at giving participants knowledge and tools to deal more effectively with the press. Among the topics which Jennifer will cover are: * Building your story * Communications channels and when how to use them * Media Training 101 * Role-Playing Media Interviews * Social Media 101 * QA: Upcoming opportunities for your project As a communications professional with lots of experience, Jennifer is really well placed to give this training. I'm personally looking forward to it, and would recommend any free software marketing people to attend. Space is limited, but open to all Summit attendees. If you do plan to attend, I'd appreciate you letting me know, so that we have an idea of the numbers we can expect. I know it'll be a busy time for GNOME, so I am expecting a lower GNOME participation than usual at the summit this year, but if anyone here *is* planning on attending, I think it'd be a great way to spend some time.
