[OT - Possibly] Goals and Objectives

["Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay" <sankarshan hotpop com>]

Hi,

it might sound ludicrous and come across as highly misleading, but
here's something that has been bothering me for sometime now. as a
point of fact, when gnome-india list was being discussed, i'd raised
this one.

the regional marketing lists have as their primary agenda - marketing
and/or promotion of GNOME. i'm aware of the sea of difference in the
2 terms, yet i club them together. i'll come to the reason somewhat
later. the entire concept of these lists is ensuring that GNOME is
properly 'publicised' so to speak. in this connection, is it a better
idea to have a consolidated aims and objective sheet from the GNOME
Foundation/Board ? a sort of policy statement elaboration of the
GNOME Roadmap...

the immediate advantage is that the regional groups/lists have a
yardstick handy to measure (and i fancy beat themselves with !) as
well contribute immediate feedback. a participatory model also
increases stakeholder voices (sometimes it leads to chaos - but GNOME
has ample firefighters). thus we have a consolidated objective along
with the annualised theme in place.

coupling this with the annual GNOME events and event reports help
create a consolidated experience repository. collaboration does
really go a long way towards synchronised ballet.

apologies in advance if this sounds ridiculous
regards

Sankarshan
