Hi Nelson,

Thanks for putting this together.

I'd also recommend you look through some of the Marketing Wiki pages[1].
I also started something similar last year with a Marketing Brief that
covers some similar topics.[2]  Additionally, we've been brainstorming
possible marketing campaigns for GNOME 3.0[3], and at our recent
hackfest this past September we landed on a theme, and I have a to-do
from our meeting last month to work with the hackfest team and get it
documented on the wiki (which I'm behind on).

We're having a team meeting this Saturday at 16:00 UTC as well.

Thanks.

Paul
