Re: speaker schedules for conference
We should think about who we are trying to reach ... existing end users, potential end users, developers, community members, distros, downstream partners, ... All 3 of those events are very technical events and the reach would be to existing fans and community members, I think.

We can instead talk about vala, gobject-introspection, and extensions on these technical conferences. If you want to market outside our community, then perhaps we could hit some educational conferences or help desk conferences. Or we could hold booths at beerfests. :-) sri > Stormy > > On Thu, Dec 22, 2011 at 8:03 PM, Sriram Ramkrishna < > sriram.ramkris...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I think we need to start scoping out conferences for the next year and >> figure out how we are going to talk about GNOME 3.4. >> >> There are a number of talks I'm thinking of presenting: >> >> 1) Open Source Bridge 2nd quarter 2012 >> 2) Northwest Linuxfest 2nd quarte 2012 >> 3) Linuxcon - wherever - 3rd quarter 2012 >> >> We should definitely talk about our marketing plans. >> >> sri >> >> >> -- Sriram Ramkrishna (sriram.ramkrishna_@@_...@.gmail.com (remove _@@_) >> >> >> >> -- >> marketing-list mailing list >> marketing-list@gnome.org >> http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list >> >> > -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
RE: speaker schedules for conference
That is a great idea. Is it possible to have a conference in the DC metro area? Tammy From: sriram.ramkris...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2011 19:03:03 -0800 Subject: speaker schedules for conference To: marketing-list@gnome.org I think we need to start scoping out conferences for the next year and figure out how we are going to talk about GNOME 3.4. There are a number of talks I'm thinking of presenting: 1) Open Source Bridge 2nd quarter 2012 2) Northwest Linuxfest 2nd quarte 2012 3) Linuxcon - wherever - 3rd quarter 2012 We should definitely talk about our marketing plans. sri -- Sriram Ramkrishna (sriram.ramkrishna_@@_...@.gmail.com (remove _@@_) -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

The thread is not abour organizing conferences, but about GNOME presence at existing conferences. If you know about a conference in the DC area that benefit from GNOME presence, please let us know here. andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

The GNOME Foundation does have a yearly GNOME-specific event in the fall over Columbus Day weekend. This typically has been held in Boston, but was held in Toronto last year. http://live.gnome.org/BostonSummit There has been some discussion about where a U.S. GNOME conference should be held in 2012. People have proposed having it in Boston or Portland so far. The GNOME Foundation would seriously consider any city with a strong GNOME volunteer community excited to make a GNOME event happen. It is often easy to arrange for a GNOME presence at any regional FOSS (Free/Open Source Software) event in your area. The GNOME Foundation can make arrangements to send posters, stickers, GNOME DVD's, etc. to help promote GNOME at any local event. Just ask. Some events also put together their own GNOME event t-shirt (or other specific goodies), but this typically only happens when the local GNOME volunteers make arrangements to do the needed design work, etc. The GNOME Foundation does also organize GNOME specific events, which are often hackfests with 5-20 people hacking away on some specific GNOME project. Typically, the people working on such projects approach the GNOME Foundation with a proposal when they are ready to work together in this way. When hackfests require funding, the proposal typically includes an expected budget to explain expected travel costs, etc. Hopefully this gives you some perspective on how we organize events, and how you can participate if interested. If you have any questions please ask. Brian -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
RE: speaker schedules for conference
Brian, Thanks. I was more interested at first if you could hold a conference in the DC area and if not, where are some of the conferences nearby the DC area for the upcoming year of 2012? I would really like to attend one nearby even it is in Boston. My other question is: If the conference is held in Boston, is it okay to blog about or video record and send to this list?

Re: speaker schedules for conference
Tammy: Thanks. I was more interested at first if you could hold a conference in the DC area and if not, where are some of the conferences nearby the DC area for the upcoming year of 2012? I would really like to attend one nearby even it is in Boston. Currently there are no events planned in the DC area. If the Columbus Day weekend event happens in Boston (or nearby) in 2012, then that would be a good choice I recommend subscribing to foundation-announce or foundation-list to keep abreast of when GNOME events are being planned: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo Some GNOME Hackfests are not always well advertised on these mailing lists, so it is also good to keep an eye on this page for upcoming Hackfest events: https://live.gnome.org/Hackfests My other question is: If the conference is held in Boston, is it okay to blog about or video record and send to this list? Yes. The GNOME Foundation does encourage people to provide such videos or other media under a free license.
