Re: Friends of GNOME goals

[Lucas Rocha <lucasr gnome org>]

Hi,

Sounds reasonable but we'll have to take all opportunities we have to
promote Friends of GNOME to achieve this goal.

Some ideas for next year:
- GNOME 2.30/3.0 and 2.32/3.2 releases
- Software Freedom Day 2010
- GUADEC
- Schedule for blogging/Microblogging (similar to what we did on marketing list)
- Special "seasonal" gifts (winter GNOME t-shirt for new subscribers,
software freedom day mug for $50+ donations, etc)
- Goals (sysadmin, gnome 3.0 promotion, etc)

We should probably have a wiki page with the promotion plan for FoG in
2010 or something.
