Topics Discussed
- Desktop Summit promo and registration
- People are encouraged to register for the Desktop Summit as soon as possible.
- We'll tweet about it and put an entry on gnome.org/news.
- Boston Summit
- Nobody is actively organizing the Summit.
- Walter Bender volunteered to help us secure the space, but we need more on-the-ground work.
- We should email J5 and ask for a list of what he's done in the past.
- Hackfests
- The Board wants to encourage people to organize more hackfests.
- We should blog about what some of our recent hackfests have accomplished. Ask vuntz and desrt for input.
- Friends of GNOME
- Should we have another campaign drive?
- Campaigns are better when they're tied to a concrete goal. Suggestions:
- Fund the Boston Summit.
- Fund a series of hackfests.
- Fund installation of a GNOME gitorious instance.
- Women Outreach Program
- Program has been successful so far.
- The Board has approved another year of funding.
