In fact we have started writing a draft for the content for the (Bi)annual report

Ah, cool! I hadn't seen it.

By now, I've only talked to Allan Day about writing an article about the design process
of GNOME 3. I've also worked in the quotation section.

There are some obvious people to talk to about the different sections:

Marina for WSOP (and since we already have a press release, that would already be a great base for the report article). I'd be interested in doing a short interview with Marina about her personal involvement too.

Summer of Code: Daniel Siegel would be a great person to talk to here - he's been co-ordinating mentors and GNOME's involvement to great success for the last 3 years, and before that he was a mentor in 2008 and a student in 2007.

I'd love to get Stormy to write about the process she organised for hiring a new executive director - she's a shining counter-example to her thesis that people might not "do it again for free" :)

On the Desktop Summit, I was thinking that we could get quotes like you did for GNOME 3. But since it's already done once, perhaps twice would be too much. Do you think it's better to do an article per hackfest, or one overall article, highlighting each one?

What do you think of the idea of the application show-case?

Cheers,
Dave.
