Re: The GNOME Annual Report
Hi Brian, I wrote a GNOME.Asia Summit 2010 Report that was initially for GNOME Journal. Paul mentioned it would be published in the 2010 Annual Report instead. Should this report be included? Pockey On 09/27/2011 10:46 AM, Brian Cameron wrote: At the last GNOME Foundation board meeting, the topic of the Annual Report came up. The 2009 Annual Report[1] seemed to be a bit exhausting and was quite late. It is already quite late for the 2010 report. Paul Cutler was working on the 2009 Annual Report, but I am not sure if anybody has picked up on this task now that Paul is not working on it. At this point does it make sense to do a Bi-Annual Report or something? So, is anybody on the marketing team helping with the Annual Report? Has any progress been made? What needs to be done? I suspect that we may need to scale back the Annual Report. Is the reason this task keeps falling to the wayside because it has become too much work? While we have done some really amazing glossy feature full Annual Reports in the past few years, it may be time to focus on doing something more simple and focused that we can finish on a more regular schedule. There are some topics the Annual Report should include: - Karen is our new Executive Director, so we should include a letter from her. - The fact that we released GNOME 3.0 and have 3.2 on the way is something we should be communicating excitement about. Perhaps we could use the same sort of text that we are putting in the Release Notes. - The GNOME 3 parties were so successful, that they deserve some text, and we should showcase the photo contest winners, and other nice photos taken over the past year. This could be much the same text as from Emily's Desktop Summit presentation. - The GNOME Events section is important, I think. - The financial update section. - A page recognizing sponsors. - I really liked how we highlighted GNOME Foundation members who have been members more than 10 years. We should keep doing that. Some of the other sections (bug squad, interviews, team reports, etc.) are nice, but I think we may need to focus on the basics just to get back on track. Thoughts? Help?

GNOME.Asia Summit 2012 Call for hosts
Dear all, The GNOME.Asia Committee is inviting proposals to host GNOME.Asia Summit during the 1st quarter of 2012. GNOME.Asia Summit is the yearly GNOME Users and Developers Conference in Asia. The event focuses primarily on the GNOME desktop, and also covers applications and the development platform tools. It brings together the GNOME community in Asia to provide a forum for users, developers, foundation leaders, governments and businesses to discuss both the present technology and future developments. GNOME.Asia Summit was held in Beijing, Ho-Chi-Minh City, Taipei and Bangalore respectively over the last four years. We would like to continue finding new locations as we spread GNOME throughout Asia, and we are looking for local organizers to rise to the challenge of organizing an excellent GNOME event. The GNOME.Asia committee will assist in the process, but there is a definitive need for individuals to be actively involved and committed to the planning and delivery of the event. You can learn more about GNOME.Asia Summit at our official website: http://www.gnome.asia For those of you who would like to host the next GNOME.Asia Summit in 2012 you are hereby invited to write a formal proposal to the gnome-asia-committee-list at gnome dot org . The deadline for the proposals is July 4, 2011 Monday UTC 2359. Please send your proposal to gnome-asia-committee-list at gnome dot org. We might invite you to present your proposal in more details over our regular IRC meetings, or send you additional questions and requests. Results will be announced by the end of July 2011. The conference will require availability of facilities for one week, including a weekend, during the 1st quarter of 2012 (January to March 2012). Dates should avoid other key free software conferences or other events that may have conflict and will be confirmed together with other GNOME teams which might get involved. Key points which proposals should consider, and which will be taken into account when deciding among candidates, are: * Local community support for hosting the conference. * Venue details. Information about infrastructure and facilities to hold the conference should be provided. * Information about how internet connectivity will be managed. * Lodging choices ranging from affordable housing to nicer hotels, and information about distances between the venue and lodging options. * The availability of restaurants or the organization of catering on-site, cost of food/soft drinks/beer. * The availability and cost of travel from major Asian and European cities. * Local industry and government support. * Please provide a reasonably detailed budget. * Bear in mind that at GNOME.Asia Summit, the hallway track and social activities are also very important. Please check the GNOME.Asia Summit check list [1] and howtos [2] when putting together a proposal. Please also feel free to contact gnome-asia-committee-list at gnome dot org if you have any questions. Please help to spread the words and we are looking forward to hearing from you soon!

I have copied the gugmasters-list@ as it is usually a more appropriate place for those kind of requests. For the goodies part you have unfortunately missed the launch party offer by about 2 months (we sent goodies to any party organizer who registered before February 15th). I am not sure when we will have a similar offer again. My experience in Bangalore during the GNOME.Asia Summit was that production costs in India were very low as. I assume it stands true for Sri Lanka as well. Considering you seem to be trying to organize quite a big event I would aim to secure a few local sponsors (such as local IT companies, NPO, companies targeting your people interested by technology). I think if you're able to make a clear budget to cover water cost and a few stickers/balloons/banner you will easily find people or companies to support you. We will happily review your work if you need. Regarding setting up a gnome user group I would first recommend you this presentation that was given during the 2011 GNOME.Asia Summit: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit/Slides?action=AttachFiledo=viewtarget=Pockey-Building-GNOME-User-Group.odp then visit https://live.gnome.org/UserGroups which goes into more details.

In the conclusion, you will see some quotes like:
I really like Gnome 3 and it’s convinced me to switch from my usual
mainstay of KDE 4
I think Gnome 3 brings Linux up to scratch with Windows 7 and Mac OSX
for the desktop experience, and I’d choose it over those operating
systems any day!

Let's get the organisers of the parties their region into the GNOME CRM for future use - it's easy to forget this later, as it is a lot of slog work - if we do it while the parties are organising then the job may be easier. This is something really easy that we could delegate across a larger number of people. Yeah, the database are definitely a good contact list for our future campaigns and promotional activities as well as turning them into ambassadors or GUGs I can help on this, just let me know how. 2. We should follow up after 3.0 (about mid may, perhaps?) to try to crystalise some of these groups into local GNOME user groups. Yes, The place where host the launch party will likely to became a GNOME Users Group. All the organizors' contact will be added togugmasters-l...@gnome.org mailto:gugmasters-l...@gnome.org . We should follow up with them for future activities. After the activites, all the parties will required to submit: 1. Blog 2. Photos 3. Videos It would be great if we define a tag for those medias. How about define tag as : *GNOME3_launch_party* The official tag has been announced, which is *#gnome3parties*, I already informed all the party organizers by email as well. We asked them to blog / tag pictures, send their blog links / uploaded picture links to me or to gugmasters-list(at)gnome(dot)org. We will publish those event pictures and blog links in the gnome3.org website to share with everybody. Then we can easily to search all the photos, video and blog from websites. I like the idea from Allan to have a competition for the best *Photos*. (Photos is much easier and more than videos. ) In this case, we do need them to submit selected photos. and I do believe it would be a great incentive to ask for nice pictures for promotion. -Emily -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Normally the idea is to do this every year, but my opinion is that since we are doing a end-of-the-year campaign, i want to suggest to give this one only to the first 100 subscribers of Friends of Gnome, and that this statue is available for the first 100 for 2010 and 2011. So the next design will be available in 2012 (for extra boost of the current campaign). We have agreed on 4 designs and materials, and want to know what design people love the most, although they are quite similar.

We initially set the date to April is due to some feedback from our survey, however, we are very flexible and willing to listen to advices. For your reference, our local organisers are preparing proposals to host the hackfest, potential venues will be in Hong Kong, Indonesia or India. The proposals will be submitted to us end of this month, I will definitely share those proposals with the marketing list with you. In order to get feedbacks to host this hackfest, we prepared a pre-event survey at http://survey.gnome.asia/ and asked our target audiences to join including the marketing team. The deadline of this pre-event survey is 16th Nov Tuesday, some abstracts of the pre-event survey is as below: We have 78 responses in total so far- 1) 63% respondents are from Asia. 2) 31% respondents involved with the GNOME 3.0 release 3) 70% respondents want to join the event 4) Most respondents prefer to host the event during or after the GNOME 3.0 release 5) HK is the leading hosting city, followed by Bali and Jakarta (Indonesia), Bangalore (India). 6) Most respondents prefer universities (50%) as venue, followed by resorts (31%) and offices (24%) 7) around 1/3 respondents can manage their travel cost by themselves, while 1/3 respondents asked to cover all their travel expenses, another 1/3 asked to cover part of their expenses 8) from the above respondents that need travel subsidy, 2/3 asked to sponsor below 1,200 USD, 1/3 asked to sponsor up to 2,000 USD 9) 6 of them are interested to be speakers in the one day conference and left their email addresses for us to contact them I will also share the detail results / statistics of this pre-event survey with you upon the deadline.

At any rate, some discussion with them to determine how marketing hackfest plans should be coordinated seems appropriate. There may be opportunities to do some different marketing things at both events if we decide to keep them separate events, for example. Brian Hi! Having participated in the discussion during the Boston Summit and being a member of GNOME.Asia it seemed the participants in Boston needed both hackfests: one around the freeze period and one during the launch. As you might all know by now we have a pre-event survey up since about 3 weeks and received very good feedbacks to help us prepare. We are however definitely happy to collaborate with other events or share our plans with anyone interested to do something for the launch period. @Jason: please don't hesitate to get in touch with us either on or off the list.

Re: GNOME 3.0 official logo and banners
I wonder if makes sense to create some banners with screenshots of gnome-shell.

GNOME 3.0 official logo and banners
Hi, I wonder if there is any official GNOME 3.0 logo or banners so we can put them in our blog posts (when we talk about GNOME 3.0) or communities websites to promote GNOME 3.0? I tried to look for it in the GNOME wiki, but I cannot find any. - Pockey -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
