Re: Mobile Funding - Update

[Bharat Kapoor <3 kapoor gmail com>]

Hmmm - not a bad idea - I think we were planning on sending people to gnone3.org - but now we can send them to a special page.

Ok now since u suggested something that is cool - u have to help too :) or for that matter whoever can please advise:

1. Where can I find backgrounds - that we can edit with some nice message (although once we do this - we may have to do it for other friends of gnome too)
2. How do I find info on creating a new webpage

Cheers
Bharat

Perhaps to encourage people to donate via Mobile, we could give away
some special thing to people who donate.  Perhaps people who donate
via mobile is given a special URL where they can download a GNOME
background that looks nice and advertises that the person supports
GNOME in a special way, or something.

If we provide something nice, but free, in exchange for donating via
mobile that might encourage people to donate in this way.

   Dear All

   I have updated the Project plan for the Pilot, which I feel
   comfortable that we can achieve in the next 3 months. If successful
   will make a it a permanent feature and also investigate Europe and
   other high open source concentrations areas next?

   Please take a look at the Project Plan section towards the end @:
   http://live.gnome.org/GnomeFundRaising

   Feedback requested:

      1. Is this good enough to go? or do we need more planning or need
         to explore additional channels?
      2. Have we picked the right conferences - is there any conference

         that we missed between May end through Aug end?

      3. Should we list ourselves on: Qnation & Wecaretoo?
      4. Do we have a booth the the conferences listed, if not does

         anyone have a contact at these conferences, if not I shall
         contact them.

   Best Regards
   Bharat
