Meeting Notes

Sponsorships

  • Corporate sponsorship for GUADEC went well, slower for GNOME Asia and general sponsors - Sponsorship- lets try to make some more noise.
  • We need as many points of contact and communicators as possible advertising for sponsorship in general and for events
  • help with sharing social posts and promoting, but also help with strategy and planning
  • Let's start hosting a small even every two months and welcome our community and other communties
  • Action item: need to pick a time and date for a launch and plan promotion on social and discourse - Melissa and Kristi will coordinate more details
  • We're alos rethinking the Friends of GNOME group. How can we make it more useful to the members and learn what they want out of the group.
  • Will start with a Friends of GNOME social hour during GNOME Asia
  • Action item: setup a future meeting to discuss possible perks for FoG

Job Board

  • New page on foundation.gnome.org: https://foundation.gnome.org/jobs/

  • Event sponsors have the opportunity to share jobs with our community, but these currently only live on the event pages
  • We've built a new page on the website to capture these jobs and share them long-term
  • Would also be nice to include internships

GNOME Asia

  • We officially extended the CfP
  • We need more submissions
  • Registration is also open - but we have been focusing more on CfP
  • GNOME.Asia website is out of date - we don't know who has access to it or controls it
  • GNOME Asia twitter also needs to be updated - Melissa and Caroline can put together 5-10 tweets for them to share
  • GNOME Asia logo has been selected and announced through email - seems some submissions were missed or not notified, Kristi will check with this
  • For swag and merch either local team designer can work on this or art files can be sent to Caroline to continue merch design
  • Sponsors like to know registration numbers before committing, this information would be helpful

GNOME Africa

  • Doing some work on university outreach in Africa
  • Have recieved some notes that people would like to host outreach in their universities so will be reaching out to them
  • Hope this will increase our visibility and possibly help us get sponsors
