Hi all! It's nearly the end of the first week of my GNOME 3 marketing contract, so I thought it would be a good time to let you all know what I've been up to. Here's a list of the main tasks I've taken care of this week as a part of the contract:
* Wrote to the marketing list about plans for the release notes and roadmap. * Started working on the 3.0 release notes: http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointNinetyone/ReleaseNotes There's lots to write about! * Fixed some link problems with gnome3.org and updated some information on the site. * Collected information on how the main distros will be shipping 3.0 - we need this for various marketing activities, including gnome3.org. Had some good conversations with people from the relevant distros and got some good information. (Jorge Castro updated the instructions for installing GNOME 3 on Ubuntu [1], btw - thanks Jorge!) Fed the distribution information back to the marketing list. * Chased some people to check on the developer migration documentation situation (this is something that came up as a priority for distributors). Turns out that there is some good documentation already and an excellent porting checklist that has been written by Javier Jardon. I moved that to http://live.gnome.org/Gnome3PortingGuide so that we can build on it in the future. * Did a big cleanup of the marketing tasks page: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Tasks We can hopefully use this page to pool GNOME 3 marketing tasks that we want to advertise to volunteers. I've put some items on there - check it out! (Feel free to add tasks too.) * Created up to date screenshots and a new 'alpha' (now 'beta') banner for gnome3.org. Updated the web site with the new material. * Updated the GNOME 3 marketing schedule with some items that have come up during the week: http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/MarketingRoadmap Allan [1] http://askubuntu.com/questions/22946/how-do-i-install-the-latest-version-of-gnome-3/28392#28392 -- Blog: http://afaikblog.wordpress.com/ IRC: aday on irc.gnome.org -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
