Goals:

Meet with local government to create long term partnership
My comments:

• I see the agenda more in terms of presentations, will this lead to a long term engagement
• What is our goal from this engagement - do we want a long term one and if so how do we convey that.
  
• Can we dig a little into their motivations before we even show up in Spain - happy to take the lead if you can put me in touch with the right contact (or I can dig)
• Do they want Gnome - where, how and why
  

There's two events here.

One is the marketing hackfest which is Tues-Thursday. The other is the government and local user outreach event which is on Friday.

 

Meet with local users

• Should we use this opportunity to develop these users (not developers) into our cheerleaders
• And then this pilot can be scaled to other hackfests & conferences
• I feel this could enhance your vision of getting users involved (from donations to any other engagement)
• How - I have no clue?
• Is this even our goal or am I on a different tangent?
  

I agree with Juanjo that probably the best use from a GNOME/marketing perspective would be to get some awesome case studies.
