Re: world of gnome..
Yes, worldofgnome is fantastic in the amount of very positive GNOME posts they get out every day. Sometimes, it goes a little overboard though, when early research screenshots get blown out as the latest design, within hours of being added to the wiki [1]. Can we maybe come to some form of understanding about asking first before interpreting stuff as the latest and greatest design?

What I'm > interested in a feature/capability proposal to add owncloud support. Sure, why not. We should include Debarshi Ray, who's maintaining gnome-online-accounts currently. I've cc'ed him, but he's on vacation this week. Here's an existing bug about owncloud integration: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660573 -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

release notes help
I see that we're having some gaps in the release notes that need to be filled - would it make sense to contact the teams directly to ask for their help (e.g. #boxes for gnome-boxes, Jon and Cosimo for nautilus...) ? -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
live images
Hey, just wanted to let you know that we have live images of 3.5.91 now: http://download.gnome.org/misc/testing/GNOME-3.5.91-LiveUSB.iso They're basically a debranded Fedora 18 desktop spin, and I think they're looking fairly nice. We'll try to refresh these for .92 next week. Hope that helps our marketing efforts.

Don't the feature pages serve this need, at least partially ? Of course, before we advertise them as 'this is whats coming', we need to weed out the features that did not make it in the end, and make sure the remaining ones reflect somewhat acurately what was actually done. -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
The default background for 3.2
Hey, just to keep everybody in the loop: we intend to release 3.2.0 with gnome-themes-standard 3.2.0. We will not include the 3.2.0.1 release which switched out the default background. There's 3 reasons for that: 1) This change was done at the very last minute, ignoring the UI freeze that was in effect, and putting us in a bad position for all the screenshots in docs, release notes and website 2) It was not announced at all 3) There was quite a bit of early negative feedback on the new background For the release team, Matthias -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
