Jason, very interesting ideas. :) En/na Jason Ronda ha escrit:
IDEA 1: Paid GNOME Developer Kit
Add 2 registration vouchers for your preferred GNOME event. + Paid Friend of GNOME Kit (cheaper, for end users), consisting of some basic materials/merchandising about GNOME + 2 registration vouchers for your preferred GNOME event + donation.
IDEA 2: GNOME TV
and the money to visit the guys in their homes and/or cubicles with a camara to film the episode?
We could even start with view-how's (screen sessions captured with commentors' voices) saving the transport and the cammera. We are in a slow but evident process of evolving the ReadHowTo paradigm to the ViewHowTo that has worked perfectly since the pre-writing era, possibly for millions of years. :) On the other hand, podcasting video allows us to start without needing to fill a whole tv channel. It's about about accumulating interesting content and creating new routines. Topaz should have a video DVD with some GNOME tutorials for users + developers and an audiovisual Yelp.
IDEA 3: GNOME Printed Magazine
What about starting with Print On Demand? Working on a common news.gnome.org aggregating and organising the best news content we are creating in gnomedesktop, journal, blogs... An agreement with an existing magazine would be essential for further steps. Once you have the macinery running it's just a matter of available contents to produce a periodical magazine. Some might be interested. The projects you suggest would need someone dedicated to the Foundation, and not just (or not mainly) for accountancy purposes. But the TV and the printed magazine can be started small as we have started other voluntary projects. -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
