You won't be much good to us if you're going to be flying 30 hours. :P
Let's keep the goal in mind.  :-)  We can figure it out I am sure!

Hmm, my calendar is starting to get complicated again. Would it be a
problem if we pushed it back a few days, do you think? (Just figuring
out my options.)


I'll be with Andreas in Denmark until the 23rd. Best-case scenario, we 
would make it to New York on the 24th - I would fly Copenhagen / Rio / 
New York and make it there mid-afternoon on the 24th, and Andreas would 
fly Copenhagen / New York and make it there late on the 23rd.


For me, it would still be better to have the hackfest on the 25th, but 
I'll fly for 30h if it works better for everyone on the 24th :)

I'm fairly certain that we'll never get some of these people to a
hackfest. Reaching out to some of them is a great idea though, and we
should talk about other people we might want to invite.

Certainly.  June should be okay.  But I have a cousin who is threatening to
visit but he hasn't told me which dates. (or whether it happens at all)
But schedule it and he can work around it I'm sure.

July is also fine.  I don't think I have anything scheduled at all.

How about some community managers from other groups like say Mozilla or
Yocto?  Both are full time positions.

June 24-25 would be a bit hard for me. I leave Copenhagen early on the
23rd, arriving in Rio 20h55 on that same day. In order to be in NY on the
24th, I'd need to catch a flight right after landing here (and, still, I'd
only make it to JFK mid-afternoon).

Besides that, if Allan indeed needs to be back to the UK on the 26th, I
guess it would be hard for him to be at the Hackfest and also get on a
flight home on the 25th.

Would July 1-2 work, perhaps?

I'd love to get this scheduled! It's looking like scheduling around
theJune 24-25 makes sense from looking at people's preferences. Allan do
you know if you're unavailable from the 26th? Sri, could you add your
availability?

With the resources that we have for marketing, there's a danger that
planning discussions would remain just that - discussions. We've been
down this road before; we all want to do more, but there are limits,
and I think we should be realistic. So I have a strong preference for
doing work at the hackfest rather than planning.

As for things that we could work on, there are a number of priority
areas for me:

 * Marketing materials - we could use the opportunity to move our
existing content over to OwnCloud and fill in any blanks
 * Updating the brand guidelines and move them to a restricted
location (this would include elaborating them to cover things like
visual style, colour schemes, etc)
 * Writing a GNOME mission statement

For some of these items, particularly the last one, we will need more
expertise than the marketing team has. If we are going to tackle these
tasks - and I think that a hackfest would be a good opportunity to do
so - we should think about getting other people to the event, either
from the GNOME community and/or specialists who can help us to
articulate our message.

(And if we do want to get other members of the community involved, New
York might be a better location.)

Re: marketing hackfest?

[Sriram Ramkrishna]

Let me see off the top of my head:

* updated marketing materials for conferences -
* talking points when discussing GNOME with others, formulating a FAQ
* outreach discussion - we do this, but we need to really need to come up
with an action plan
* re-do the marketing wiki page
* conference bling - what new stuff can we give out at conference
* New T-shirt design?
* implement GSOC volunteer capture on the website
* pursue new ideas through brainstorming and interaction
* press kit improvements
* conference kit improvements
* lingering action items that need to be completed.
* reaching out to non-tech sectors
* reaching out to kids
* reaching out to parents
* reaching out to LGBT
* selling our javascript platform to web folks

I'm really serious about getting images out, it's an important factor in
getting volunteers.. we should probably discuss what other infrastructure
improvements we could make.

* beer / team building

That should be about two days worth of stuff right there.  I know that we
have the capacity of to use an entire hour or more in our marketing meeting.

Anything else, we can talk about?

I think there are a lot of things we could work on, but one big thing we
want to do is to better articulate why GNOME and free software generally
is so important. Also, our marketing materials site is old and seriously
out of date so on the more mundane side, combing through those materials,
reorganizing them and figuring out if there's anything new that we need
would probably be very useful.

I'm sure others have ideas too.

I'm definitely interested in attending a marketing hackfest. That
said, I am busy and my primary responsibility is design, so I'd want
to be confident that the event would be an effective use of time. Do
you (or anybody else) have any ideas for what we would work on?

Best,

Karen, I'd be down for a marketing hackfest and either NY or Cincinnatti
could work for me - I'm hoping/planning to attend at least part of the
OpenHelp conference in June, though I've not made definete plans just yet.
Either way June sounds good to me!

If there's interest, I can try to secure some space in Nürnberg,

Actually, it sounds like Brno might not be available with the other
hackfests already being scheduled there and space contsraints. But if we
agree we'd like to organize a hackfest and figure out who would likely
attend we can nail down where and when.

I do think that February is a good time to do it. We should avoid
conflicting with FOSDEM, but we could also schedule right around it if
that would help.

I think a marketing hackfest is a good idea to push some work. If it is
easy to organize and people involved in marketing can attend, then we
should do it.

Although I'm not a core marketing contributor, I think I could attend,
though I'm not sure 100% by now.

Well the weather will definitely benefit a hackfest. :-)

When I looked into tickets to Czech for Linuxcon,  it was like 500 dollars
if you did it early.  So, I don't think that's a bad price.

I might be willing to meet up there.

yep! Joining hackfests already in progress seems like an easier way to

Re: Marketing hackfest next year

Hi Jason,

The GNOME Asia Summit 2011 with GNOME 3.0 hackfest pre-event survey 
results have been published at 
http://pockey.dao2.com/2010/11/gnome-3-0-hackfest-pre-event-survey-results/#content 
, we are more than happy to share with you the results.

As Brian and Fred said, the date of GNOME.Asia is not confirmed yet, 
we can always set the date of GNOME.Asia Hackfest in end of Feb or 
early March if it can help the GNOME 3.0 launch in terms of marketing.


We initially set the date to April is due to some feedback from our 
survey, however, we are very flexible and willing to listen to advices.


For your reference, our local organisers are preparing proposals to 
host the hackfest, potential venues will be in Hong Kong, Indonesia or 
India. The proposals will be submitted to us end of this month, I will 
definitely share those proposals with the marketing list with you.


In order to get feedbacks to host this hackfest, we prepared a 
pre-event survey at http://survey.gnome.asia/  and asked our target 
audiences to join including the marketing team. The deadline of this 
pre-event survey is 16th Nov Tuesday, some abstracts of the pre-event 
survey is as below:


We have 78 responses in total so far-
1) 63% respondents are from Asia.
2) 31% respondents involved with the GNOME 3.0 release
3) 70% respondents want to join the event
4) Most respondents prefer to host the event during or after the GNOME 
3.0 release
5) HK is the leading hosting city, followed by Bali and Jakarta 
(Indonesia), Bangalore (India).
6) Most respondents prefer universities (50%) as venue, followed by 
resorts (31%) and offices (24%)
7) around 1/3 respondents can manage their travel cost by themselves, 
while 1/3 respondents asked to cover all their travel expenses, 
another 1/3 asked to cover part of their expenses
8) from the above respondents that need travel subsidy, 2/3 asked to 
sponsor below 1,200 USD, 1/3 asked to sponsor up to 2,000 USD
9) 6 of them are interested to be speakers in the one day conference 
and left their email addresses for us to contact them


I will also share the detail results / statistics of this pre-event 
survey with you upon the deadline.

Hi!

Having participated in the discussion during the Boston Summit
and being
a member of GNOME.Asia it seemed the participants in Boston "needed"
both hackfests: one around the freeze period and one during the
launch.

As you might all know by now we have a pre-event survey up since
about 3
weeks and received very good feedbacks to help us prepare. We are
however definitely happy to collaborate with other events or
share our
plans with anyone interested to do something for the launch period.

@Jason: please don't hesitate to get in touch with us either on
or off
the list.

Hi!

Having participated in the discussion during the Boston Summit and being
a member of GNOME.Asia it seemed the participants in Boston "needed"
both hackfests: one around the freeze period and one during the launch.

As you might all know by now we have a pre-event survey up since about 3
weeks and received very good feedbacks to help us prepare. We are
however definitely happy to collaborate with other events or share our
plans with anyone interested to do something for the launch period.

@Jason: please don't hesitate to get in touch with us either on or off
the list.

We need to have another marketing hackfest in preparation for the GNOME
3.0 launch. This will be entirely work-oriented. The date ranges

Please reply to this email with your availability: where can you travel

The GNOME.Asia community was been planning to host a hackfest that
coincides with the GNOME 3.0 release.  The point of their hackfest was
to get people together to work on tasks that need to get done in
association with the launch.  Would it make sense to plan to do such
marketing hackfest work at the GNOME.Asia 3.0 launch hackfest?

  http://live.gnome.org/GnomeAsia/2011Summit

Their current plans have been to have their event a bit later (early
April), but it seems worth discussing with them.  I imagine they
would consider moving their event earlier if that would better fit in
with the needs of relevant groups such as the Marketing team.

At any rate, some discussion with them to determine how marketing 
hackfest plans should be coordinated seems appropriate.  There may be

opportunities to do some different marketing things at both events
if we decide to keep them separate events, for example.

I have located a rent-able "green screen". It's 60 € (~$80) + taxes
per 1-day use

As far as I understood it's similar to this one:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/soapcreative/2422246369/
,which is, a standing foot with a horizontal bar and a *blue* curtain
(important for the clothes)

I will have to know which could be the recording date to ask for these
resources at a certain date :)

Apart from this, still looking for a stage and lighting

On second thought, I just tried to pack it and it's so large and unwieldy
that I've decided to leave it at home. Please me know how much renting one
might cost. All we need would be a single day. I'd gladly go out-of-pocket

Yes, I have a Sony D50 which I am bringing which has a traditional tripod

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure since this is not something that I have
tried before. My impression is that the larger, the better but 2x2M should
be sufficient. The reason a larger screen is better is that one wants to try
to avoid casting any shadows on the screen when standing in front of it.
That generally means standing quite a bit in front of it. I'm going to go
ahead and bring my green screen so don't worry about it. I am about to catch
my plane to Madrid.

Please do keep us posted on a stage/lighting situation, though!

Thank you!

Daniel,

Thanks for reply. You can ask for information. If any of the organization can't 
provide the material for free, we can ask them if they can afford renting the 
material. If not, we can decide if GNOME can rent it.

I can lend a tripod for this. I live quite near the place where the
hackfest will take place, so that's easy :)
It's not a professional one, an it has "some" years ;-) but probably
it's better than nothing

About the boom pole, and the green screen, I do not own any, but there
is a public office which lends A/V stuff for associations. Maybe they
have one, and I could ask in behalf of GNOME Hispano.

If not, I know there is a company not quite far (1 or 2 miles) from
the hackfest which rents a professional studio. I know that probably
you want to minimize the costs, but anyway I can ask about some
prices. They also "rent" technical people for lighting and all the
rest

Waiting for comments... but I will do some calls meanwhile

There's two events here.

One is the marketing hackfest which is Tues-Thursday. The other is the
government and local user outreach event which is on Friday.

I agree with Juanjo that probably the best use from a GNOME/marketing

Hi GuysI may be a little late with my post but I think we still have time to

If you guys want I can post them in wiki - but it would help if some decision

Meet with local users

Zaragoza is very active in the promotion of Free Software.

Established

Can we define it

with Gnome on 1000 PCs by end of 2010 (I am just saying)Well, the  Zaragoza 
city has its own distribution called AZLinux (It is an customized 
opensuse-based distro). And yes, they use GNOME on the desktop. They are using 
this distribution for all their employees of the town administration. They have 
their own migration roadmap and AFAIK it is very advanced.

Bouncing off the November hackfest: we should point to interactions between
maintainers and anyone else on social networks where possible. Facebook
doesn't really allow that (I think?) but we could do that with the microblog
and blogging sites. Or maybe we just aggregate a whole bunch of social media
sources like a microblog version of Planet GNOME?

For me, I've seen 3.0 demonstrations a couple of times, including at the
last Marketing hackfest in Chicago.  And honestly, I couldn't quite
grasp what 3.0 is truly about.  A lot of cool exciting words thrown
about, but it looked also like something that requires quite a bit of
learning curve if you're used to the old way and are a creature of habit
(like me!)

Learning is always the single biggest challenge in any adoption.

So I suggest marketing 3.0 by teaching how to use it right off the bat.
Create some simulations on the website where people can abe guided step
by step.  Not a read-through tutorial, but an actual simulation.  

"if you do this step, watch what happens.  Bravo.  Now let's try another
trick Bravo... Next.. " and so on.

People can get a rudimentary feel for how to use 3.0 and feel less
intimidated than when they try it out of the box.  This would reduce
telling people "RTFM, dude!" (which I hate)  and would help close the
gaps between the knows and dont-knows.

It also can give a user experience to those out there who haven't tried
GNOME/FOSS and can get a little taste of it before actually trying
GNOME/FOSS.

That's my thought right out of the gate here.  How easy it is to
actually create such a simulation?  I wouldn't know.  :-)

Re: Marketing Hackfest Details

[Paul Cutler]

I will bring a camcorder to the hackfest and do my best to make sure all the
discussion and brainstorming sessions are captured.

GNOME is willing to help with travel costs if people have the time to
spare.  Having attended a docs hackfest earlier in the year, there is
nothing quite like it, in my opinion.  The energy and flow of ideas from
meeting in person really seem to drive engagement.

And sometimes those of us who do attend all the events physically wish
we could get the virtual stuff ironed out as well! :-) My partner and
her kids would like to see way more of me than they do. :-)

The physical meetings are, IMHO, very important... but if we had a
system that was a real replacement for physical meetings, that would
be fantastic.

No doubt it might. But what if you don't live there? My understanding is
that GNOME is not a Californian, or indeed US, organisation. It is global,
so a global solution is needed.

Also the continuing use of physical meetings in a time of recession, peak
oil and climate change, seems a bit old-school to me. I have no doubt that
physical meetings are far (far!) superior to virtual-only meetings; but
having the option of virtual participation would seem to be appropriate for
an organisation that sees itself as leading and cutting-edge. Isn't the
latest GNOME version "Made for sharing"?

Sorry for the rant. Sometimes us folks who are not in the USA, UK or EU feel
a bit left out ...  :-)

I (and I presume others in the world) would love to attend and 
contribute, but I have no hope of being there physically. 

I appreciate that this could be expensive and/or a hassle, so I expect 
the answer "no".  But perhaps the GNOME powers-that-be could investigate 
setting up infrastructure for this purpose in future events?


I would think that Google, being the tech-savvy company that they are
probably does have some videoconferencing facilities.  Would be good
to check out what they might be able to offer us.

Though, their videoconferencing services might only work between various
Google offices, so it might depend on whether or not interested people
have a nearby Google office that they could visit.  This might work well
for people in the bay area, for example.

Re: Marketing Hackfest

[Kevin Harriss]

Paul:

As you know, I also live in Chicago however I don't think I will be
able to get off work to attend during the day. I would be more than
happy to get together and hang out with people in the evenings.  Is
there a web page with information about the Marketing Hackfest? I
would like to forward the information on to the various user groups in
Chicago.

The Gnome Chicago User Group has pretty much faded away. We did a
little bit a couple years ago when I first started it but then
people's interest and my free time start to dwindle away.

Re: marketing hackfest?

[Paul Cutler]

I think this is an excellent idea.

Hackfests are especially helpful, not only for the energy they create, but
the opportunity to plan your writing in a group environment.  This was one
of the big takeaways we learned at the Documentation hackfest earlier this
year, and there was a presentation on it.  Having the ability to sit down,
brainstorm, plan and write a first draft for all the different projects we
have in the pipeline would be an excellent use of time.
