Ubuntu wouldn't be what it is today without GNOME. I'd prefer a quote from a customer. E.g. from that project in Spain where we have 100.000+ users. Canonical only uses GNOME, I don't see the relevance in a marketing message. It seems like a 'Android devs think it is cool too' quote. Note that a customer doesn't already have to use GNOME 3, just saying it is nice is good enough. -- Regards, Olav -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

I don't think we have live-cd's this time around. Plan is to have them. Suggest *not* to advertise tarballs. We don't in the release-notes. The 3.0 release notes had a section on how to get the release. Might be useful: The source code for GNOME 3.0 is freely available for download and redistribution. (Users are recommended to wait until GNOME 3.0 is available through a distribution or vendor, however.) Information on how to get GNOME 3.0 can be found on the GNOME 3 website. This site also provides 3.0 live images that you can use to try it out. Thanks for picking this up, Karen!

Is there an individual in particular that you're thinking of for the quote? Do you think we can get it quickly? I think it would be ok to add a fourth quote, since one of the ones we have is generically from the GNOME release team. I think the Canonical quote is useful, since it's positive press about GNOME from the company that's been the center of a lot of negative press for GNOME and says that 3.2 is being used in Ubuntu in an ongoing way. karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

But not sure of how quickly. Juanjo: Could you get us a quote from someone at Andalucía saying something (positive:P) about GNOME 3 and the GNOME 3.2 release? I'm sending a message asking for some words. La Junta de Andalucía is using GNOME 3 for the next Guadalinex release and I'm sure they are aware of the new features of GNOME 3.2 Let's see if they can provide us a quotation for tomorrow.
