Hi Brian, Might I suggest that you put the actionable stuff right up front? I'd like to see The GNOME Foundation seeking new executive director be right at the top. Afterwards, thanking Stormy explaining why she left will be 2nd, annual report 3rd, then budget and t-shirt contest, etc. You could even add GUADEC Hackfests to a separate Events update.

The Q4 team updates are due and we had a bunch of activity over the last 3 months, with Friends of GNOME, GCI, etc. Would anyone like to try their hand at writing the update? You can see an example of the Q2 update[1] and I'm working to get the GNOME Q3 update up later today. We need to have the Q4 report written in a week by Jan 12th. Thanks for the help!

Hey Sriram, I have already provided everything I know about FoG. Is there something specific I can help with? I could do a Skype session if it helps. Cheers, -- Og B.

Paul [1] http://foundation.gnome.org/reports/gnome-report-2010-Q2.html ---BeginMessage--- Board: Here is my proposal for the Board of Directors Q4 Report. I am just sending this to the board so you can review it before I make it more public. Any comments are very much appreciated. Should we drum up GNOME 3 more? Any videos or anything interesting we should include? Is it too long and stuff should be cut out? I guess this is due by the end of the week, is that right Paul? Thanks, Brian --- Board Report By: Brian Cameron First of all, the GNOME Foundation board of directors would like to express a huge thank you to all you volunteers who help to make the GNOME community possible. To all those who use the GNOME desktop and understand the value of free software on the desktop, it is you that makes the GNOME community both rich and rewarding. Thank you also to our advisory board members and sponsors for providing much valued direction for the community. The GNOME 3.0 release is planned for April 6, 2010. Find a release party near you to attend! There are GNOME 3 Launch events being planned aroudn the world. Emily Chen and the GNOME.Asia team are organizing providing GNOME t-shirts and other goodies to those who can organize launch events in their area. The GNOME Launch event in Bangalore will also be GNOME.Asia 2011. http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/LaunchParty http://gnome.asia/press/2011/Bangalore/ In the past quarter, Stormy Peters stepped down from her position as Executive Director of The GNOME Foundation. The board would like to thank Stormy for all of her great work helping to make The GNOME Foundation a more effective and better resourced organization. We all wish her the best with her future endeavors! The board has been busy trying to keep up with the work with Stormy leaving, and the most following important work continued to be the most pressing. * Released the Annual Report. Thanks to Paul and Daniel Galleguillos. http://foundation.gnome.org/reports/gnome-annual-report-2009.pdf Is it not awesome? The GNOME Marketing team needs more help putting together things like this. * Announced an interest to hire a new Executive Director and are currently reviewing applicants. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2010-November/msg00019.html * GNOME T-Shirt contest: * http://www.gnome.org/contest/ * The Boston Summit was held over November 6-8 and proved to be a great opportunity for collaboration. The GNOME Marketing team made good progress on video projects and a great deal of work was focused on the upcoming GNOME 3.0 release and accessibility. Thanks J5! * The GNOME Foundation and KDE e.V. board of directors annoucne the Desktop Summit 2011: http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/2010-10-desktop-summit-2011-berlin.html Thanks to Andreas Nilsson, Dave Neary and Ekaterina Gerasimova for all the help! Would be good to get more local GNOME volunteers involved.

Og Maciel, Paul Cutler, Andreas Nilsson and the GNOME marketing team have been working on this. Any feedback on the following alpha would be helpful. http://www.andreasn.se/diverse/temp/friends-of-gnome-2.0/ * The bidding process for the MeeGo GTK+ work closed and the applications have been reviewed. The chosen bid will soon be announced. Thanks to Bastien Nocera for doing much of the organizing. * The GNOME Foundation is now selling GNOME branded merchandise through FreeWear. Check it out:
