http://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2009/09/08/stormys-update-week-of-august-31st/
If you measure productivity based on what gets done (as opposed to how hard you work), this was a frustrating week. What I got done: - Got a new advisory board member invoiced. (Well, Rosanna invoiced them, not me, but I helped make it happen.) Working on quotes for press release. (Didn't actually get any yet.) - Got some feedback on financial waterfall. - Followed up with end user looking to use GNOME and GNU/Linux and running into problems. - Continued to push for Q3 quarterly report to be done. - Pinged sponsors and potential sponsors. - Pinged people holding up 401K setup. - Pinged press team to get started. - Met with Denise to talk about how the customer success stories are going. - Met with Keith from the Open Invention Network<http://www.openinventionnetwork.com/>to talk about how OIN and GNOME could work more closely together. He's looking for the community to help find prior art and to be advocates for them. - Posted Friends of GNOME <http://gnome.org/friends> August results<http://blogs.gnome.org/foundation/2009/09/05/friends-of-gnome-august-2009-update/> . - Blogged about Funambol grants<http://www.stormyscorner.com/2009/09/grants-bounties-and-free-software.html> . - Attended Board of Directors meeting. - Planned Board of Advisors meetings. Meetings will most likely be: - - September - events (Boston Summit, GNOME Asia, Zeitgeist hackfest) - October - finances - November - updates from advisory board members on things they are working on (list to come later) - December - update on how the Oct/Nov events went and future events Things to be done (and this is a short week due to the Memorial Day holiday): (Feel free to suggest other things or to help.) - Work on 2010 budget with treasurers. (More urgent than it sounds as our fiscal year starts in October and companies are planning their budgets now.) - Send finances out to advisory board. - Make sure press team takes off and starts working on some tasks. - Work on requirements for a CRM system so that sys admin team can install one. - Follow up with adboard members who are missing payments. - Follow up with potential sponsors. - Follow up on 401K plan. - Follow up with International Cooperation, the group in Gran Canaria working with developing countries. - Fill out form for applying for a Ford Foundation grant. - ... and a bunch more stuff that will have to wait until next week. Thoughts?
