Re: Proposal for GNOME press release about Nokia device
Hi, Sriram Ramkrishna a crit : GNOME enters embedded device market with Nokia No!Sorry, but we don't want to be in the embedded market. We discussed this at length in both marketing BOFs. We want this to be ISVs give GNOME software stack a stamp of approval Unfortunately, given that there was a release about Nokia during GUADEC already: http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/nokiadonation.html it looks like your work has been wasted. Leslie made the release in Stuttgart in co-operation with the Nokia people who were here. Leslie's going to be coming on the list now, so hopefully this won't happen again.

Hi Claus, Luis took lots of notes. I have only my memories. I expect he will write it up when he's back home and has recovered. Cheers, Dave.

Leslie made the release in Stuttgart in co-operation with the Nokia people who were here. Well, the amount of time I spent on it is negligible. But since I did say I would try to come up with something I wanted to follow through on what I committed (albeit late.)

Re: Proposal for GNOME press release about Nokia device
quote who=Claus Schwarm For example, I suggested a 5x5 goal here last october [1]. You probably never saw it, or don't remember. Whoa, prescient! Funny, that's about the time I started seriously thinking about this as well. I wonder if something happened around then to inject it into our heads? Rad! ;-) I already started thinking about a wiki page, made a few calculations about the numbers, possible ways to reach that numbers, etc. Very inspriring talk. I only missed a few details about your talk's topic Topaz. ;) Ha ha. Thanks. :-) - Jeff -- GUADEC 2005: May 29th-31st http://2005.guadec.org/ 'Cause remember, smug is beautiful. - Zachary Beane -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

I think the sentence about patents should be dropped - Nokia are one of the largest pro-software patent forces lobbying in Europe right now. Thanking them for making some patents available to a single free software project condones their patenting behaviour.
