Re: GNOME Ambassadors
I've closed the poll; only Allan and I participated. I picked Thursday, February 17, 2011, 3pm UTC (10:00 AM NYC time, 3pm UK time) as the time to have a quick GNOME Ambassadors discussion. On 02/10/2011 09:56 AM, Stormy Peters wrote: I did create the mailing list and invite several people to participate in the program - they are signed up on the list. We had a few short discussions. I think the next step is starting to give them materials and info and starting discussions about how to present it. And making sure they are aware of the important things that are happening. I also wanted to invite some mentors and some additional people. Stormy Thanks, Stormy! Prospective mentors, please email the list or edit http://live.gnome.org/Ambassadors and add your name. And thanks to Licio, Andreas, and Stormy for creating the http://live.gnome.org/Ambassadors page, which is full of links to useful materials. Upcoming conferences to which Ambassadors could represent GNOME: PyCon in Atlanta, Open Source Bridge in Portland? Where do we want GNOME to be represented, where it currently isn't? -Sumana -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

What would it involve in the context of the 3.0 campaign? If it definitely isn't going to happen in time for 3.0, I'd prefer to remove it from the schedule. As far as I am aware, nothing is happening with GNOME Ambassadors. I was to lead it last year and then I flaked out due to a family emergency. Stormy, Vincent, others I developed the idea during the May marketing hackfest in Zaragoza, and I still think it would be worthwhile, but yeah, there's no time between now and GNOME 3's launch. Thanks for the clarification - I thought that was the case. Was just checking. The page is http://live.gnome.org/Ambassadors and, like Stormy, I do think it would be a valuable goal to develop more quality speakers for GNOME within the next few years. I'd be willing to lead an IRC meeting next week to discuss further; say, Tuesday the 15th, or Wed. or Thurs.? I've set up a Doodle time poll: http://www.doodle.com/7qetmix3ivuiuazh Agenda: Looking over a schedule, to be sent out as soon as I edit it Naming some candidates Naming potential mentors Should be maybe 20-30 minutes. I've added myself here. Don't think I can take a major role in this, but I'm interested to see how it progresses. Definitely seems worthwhile.

I just don't like the name of the program as I've add a few bad experiences with 'Ambassadors' from other communities. Can we find a smart name that relates more to GNOME?
