 Action items? I can contact Chema and the GUADEC team about the
 history of GNOME video.
 
 Would you like to start writing the memories for each release? 

OK. My action plan is 1) write the memories.  I started a google document, but 
I haven't had enough time to do the job yet. I 
copy the table from the wikipedia as a base to start write small summaries of 
each release ASAP

https://docs.google.com/document/d/101nyeoVAES2hKJB2sXas1D7Zh00bI2YfhI2Hd-D4sL4/edit

Since version 2.0, we have release notes in

http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/ 

I think small memories will be enough (maybe in a table format) and Diego can 
write special reports for the releases he mentioned (1.4, 2.0, 2.14, 3.0 and 
3.4) in a mini tour in the life of the gnome project

2) [tentative] to provide VMs for the releases Diego want to focus (1.4, 2.0, 
2.14, 3.0 and 3.4) 
GNOME 1.4, Red Hat (done by Germán)
GNOME 2.0 ? 
GNOME 2.14 Ubuntu 6.04 
GNOME 3.0 OpenSUSE 11.4
GNOME 3.4  Fedora 17

 Like I
 said, I would only do a few releases, not all. See my previous
 proposal.


Ideas about the different GNOME generations taken from 
http://jeudisdulibre.be/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bxl-jeudis-gnome-3.pdf

GNOME 1 =  Much more user friendly than typical windows managers, but not still 
ready for everybody

GNOME 2 = Made to be usable by everybody. GNOME applications should follow the 
Human Interface Guidelines (First document of this kind and scope in Free 
Software desktop space). Accessibility is integrated by switching from a 
“bolted-on” to a “built-in” model

GNOME 3 = _Designed_ to be usable by everybody. A much more holistic approach 
to take desktop usability to the next level. It incorporates support for modern 
form factors and internet services.



 Andreas perhaps might want to chime on what would be cool to gather
 for the design: screenshots? old icons? the video?


I think Bastien Nocera has a collection of old icons.

Cheers,

Hi again,

I would use Wikipedia's table as a starting point for a timeline.
I would add special mentions to 5 or 4 releases (the ones I am
proposing to focus).

 GNOME 2.14 Ubuntu 6.04
 GNOME 3.0 OpenSUSE 11.4
 GNOME 3.4  Fedora 17

Considering time, I would only use Germán's VM and say something like
look how far we have come in all these years (as GNOME and as
GNU/Linux)

 I think Bastien Nocera has a collection of old icons.

Yeah. That would be cool. How would it work on the page however? A
small icon grid for fun? Andreas :)?

 Hello Juanjo!

 That was really really creepy! I remembered when I was back in school and I
 had that, with a Slackware 3.0 or something
 Can you believe that I got emotional? Jesus!

 Anyway, can I share that link?

Not yet, and not that link. If we implement this for the 15th
birthday, we will put it in GNOME's server.
Right now it is on a private location that is not meant for public use.
