the notes I have from it (and i claim no authority on it - it was jeff's
talk and neither am i a good note-taker) - caution, i might have got
stuff wrong,there are probably omissions and so on - read (practicly
verbatim):


* why community mareting - comapnies push products, who pushes
  the platform? xd2 doesn't mention gnome. no message from the
  community
* overview of OOo marekting project
* what could gnome marketing do:
	* communicate - release notes, brochures, posters,
	  interviews, profiles
	* non-documentation website content
	* communicate with other teams
	* regional and localised promotion
* kickstarting the project - open and closed marketing lists
* can immediately do :
	* what is gnome
	* release notes for gnome 2.4


but of course, nobody should draw anything from these and wait for jeff's
real thing (or at least jeff's comments) to show up. there might have
been (and hopefully were) better note-takers around on the talk too.

[next came luis's teams & bugsquad talk with much better working slides]
