Hi Bharat,

I like the idea of mobile funding. I do think we need to know where we are
going to advertise it though to reach past our current audience.

 Dear All

 I propose we drop the Mobile funding initiative at least for the short
 term, till we have an Integrated marketing strategy for Gnome. Mobile
 funding may not work out so well in the short term because of the following
 reasons:

- Our focus on existing users for Gnome 3 - most of them are close to
computers
- Does not work outside USA
- We need to tap into various non-profit advertising modes like TV,
radio, etc before we can leverage the Mobile part.

 If you have a different opinion please advise and I shall revisit. Lets
 revisit it again after the next Mktg hackfest.

 Best Regards
 Bharat
