I would propose March 22, as that's one week after our report needs to be filed with the IRS, and that way we can incorporate any of the changes that our accountants make (no matter how early you try to get them to work on this, they never seem to finish until the deadline). Today - Holidays - we need to get the Fog campaign out. So any work during this period is out of the question. Jan 5th - Feb 1st - Content needs to be set in stone, collecting donor data and financial numbers, initial writing happens. Length of articles We've already collected the donor data! :) decided. Feb 1st - Feb 15th - Design begins, writing finalized Feb 16th - Feb 26 - Writing proof reading and fixing, design finalized. Feb 26th - Mar 3rd - Proof reading of finished design pdf. Fixing. Publishing. (Note that February only have 28 days!) These deadlines sound great, though! We can take the extra time to pad the proof reading and fixing. Thanks for setting this out, Andreas. karen If anyone thinks that is impossible, speak up now. - Andreas -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
