Re: Annual Report Status?

[Emily Gonyer <emilyyrose gmail com>]

How about I combine the 'overviews' from 2010/2011 for each team (which are really just each years quarterly reports combined together themselves), and send them off to each group asking for updates/fixes/additions/etc, and then publish each of them. That way we ensure we have at least short status reports from each main group in GNOME. (This is basically what I did with the accessibility/a11y report.)

As for the combination, that absolutely makes sense, should I/we contact GNOME.Asia & GUADEC now re: how we're going to publish this or wait a while longer?  If we're going to include their respective brochures for this year, do we still want/need their sections in the international events section? Or do we want to include the brochures along side/within that section?

Actually, everyone's busy, so I think it often helps to put something
together from materials they've written already and then see if it can be
updated and improved by the team! Annual reports should be good to read,
but they also need a comprehensive overview of what our organization has
been up to in the period, even if there are teams that are not excited
about writing stuff up.
