3.6 Release Marketing
Hi all, We have one week until the release of GNOME 3.6, and there's a bunch of stuff that needs doing before then. This includes: * Write a press release, including quotations from important people * Write a news story for gnome.org * Update the gnome.org/gnome-3 page to reflect the new release (new screenshots, perhaps tweak the content) * Create a new graphic and tag line for the gnome.org homepage * Send an email to our press contacts to ensure that they know about the release, and to give them advance access to the release notes The press release is probably the most pressing item right now, because we have to request quotations from people. It would be fantastic if anybody wants to help out with anything on the list. I'll be around on #marketing - just say hi or hang around if you want to help.

Last time we were going to ask Dirk Hoendel. Would you like me to ask him for a quote? sri On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 1:04 AM, Allan Day wrote: > Hi all, > > We have one week until the release of GNOME 3.6, and there's a bunch > of stuff that needs doing before then.

I wouldn't pursue him too aggressively, considering what happened last time (lots of chasing, and a response that he couldn't quickly provide a quote, since he'd have to run it past some people in Intel). But if it's easy to ask informally, then by all means pose the question - I would definitely like a quote from him/Intel.

Re: 3.6 Release Marketing
It should be little easier now since Dirk and I are part of the same organization. I will ask him.

If Sri can easily get a quote that would be great though. I think Dirk was on vacation the last time, as I recall. karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: 3.6 Release Marketing
Here's an update on where we are with the release marketing: * Release notes - done, currently being translated * Press release - Sri is leading this, and I've been gathering quotations (we have 4 confirmed now). The text itself is work in progress. * GNOME 3 page on gnome.org - Andreas said he'd update the screenshots. * GNOME 3 homepage banner - I've been talking to Lapo and Jimmac about getting some new artwork. The current idea is to do something that highlights our new accessibility and input methods features, with the theme "Freedom for all". * Announcement news post - a draft is sitting in gnome.org; please check it over and give feedback, if you have access. * Press outreach - this hasn't happened yet. I might have time, but I might not - please step up here, if you can. So most things are under control. We definitely could do with news posts for before and after the release (perhaps spotlighting particular features). It would also be cool if anyone has ideas for things we could do on the social media front. I've always liked the idea of having an online event to coincide with the release... maybe we could use Hangouts to do a live party, or to stream an interview with key developers or designers?
