Re: Marketing Tasks

I've made an example:

 http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/TwoPointTwentynine

It's simple so anyone can edit it. Colors are not possible I've learned.

If you think that wouldn't work, let me know and I delete it.

Best regards,
Claus

I had to sit on a conference call for an hour, so while I did that, I
took a first pass at a new list:

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/TwoPointTwentyseven

All I've done so far is take the template from the GNOME Release team,
and delete some extra information they had in the notes.  I left in
all the stable and unstable releases for 2.27 and 2.29 as a reference
on when our products are actually released.

We need to agree on what our action items are, who is volunteering to
work on them, and start migrating the content in the bullets above the
release calendar into the calendar itself.

        A simple list like the one for the GnomeWeb is sufficient.
        Headers and
        bullet points. Shouldn't take more than an hour or two to move
        your
        contents.
        
        (But yes, it would be nice if someone could volunteer for
        this.)
        
        I think it would also work for campaigns. The beginning of a
        new
        campaign is usually the end of the old one, if they both use
        the same
        resource. If they don't, a clean-up day for the old campaign
        needs to be
        scheduled, anyway.
