material for desktop summit press kit
Hi board and marketing list! We're putting together information for the Desktop Summit Press Kit, and one of the sections is hot issues for both KDE and GNOME. here's the KDE draft so far: Key issues for KDE at the Desktop Summit The KDE community will use the opportunity of the Desktop Summit gathering to discuss: * KDE and its relationship with the larger free and open source software picture, including cooperation with other FOSS projects, our relationships with downstream distributions, as well as upstream technology provides, especially Nokia and Qt. * The KDE mobile strategy regarding Plasma Active and QML. These strategies will be shaped by how the market is evolving with the rapid growth of tablets and smartphones and our role, as a traditionally desktop community, playing into that. * Our Cloud strategy: Project Silk, ownCloud; how we see the market evolving with the advent of web technology and online data and how do we see our role, as a traditionally desktop community, playing into that. * Plans for the upcoming KDE Desktop and Applications 4.8 releases. * KDE in 5 years = KDE Frameworks (evolution of the Platform towards modularity and more level-playing-field integration with Qt), future of the desktop as well as the other form factors, mainstream successes. What do you think I should include? Suggestions I've got already are: The GNOME community will use the opportunity of the Desktop Summit gathering to discuss the following 'hot' items in the community: * GNOME 3; how to help the distributions to package GNOME 3 and ease the overall adoption of its use and development, seeking feedback to help with design and architecture * Improving the collaboration with KDE for the lower levels of the stack Also, I am pulling general GNOME information off of the website, like on the 'about page, but are there any other GNOME promo materials that have been put together in the past? thanks! karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

It was end of March/early April this year because of the delayed schedule for GNOME 3.0. In 2012 it should be around February either before or after the GNOME release. Hope that helps.

I think the dates I put in should be okay. We don't really have a decent conference close to the Latin countries that I'm aware of. sri -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
