Topics Discussed

• Desktop Summit promo and registration

  • https://desktopsummit.org/register

  • 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.
