Hi -
I just wanted to mention that Sri and Emily G were working on Journal- but also, Sri and Allan Day and I are working on redesigning news.gnome.org- which has some implications for the role of Journal. Our plans are here: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/NewsRedesign. Our goal is to streamline, automate and invigorate the news process so that fresh and current content is getting easily passed to gnome.org and the social media.
I think Journal may very well still be the best place for the reports, because it will get fed through the channels- but I wanted to throw in this info.
I agree with Brian and would love to take part in a marketing meeting-

Hi Brian and all,
I am working on the GNOME quarterly report for about one year, this
sounds like a good idea to combine the GNOME Journal and GNOME Quarterly
report. I am happy to work with GNOME Journal team to make things
forward. How does everyone think about this idea?
days?
I suspect that those people who normally work on GNOME Journal are
probably busy helping on the 2010-2011 Bi-Annual Report. This
Bi-Annual Report is the 1st glossy product of the GNOME Marketing
team since the GNOME 3.0 launch. So, it would not surprise me to
hear that GNOME Journal and/or the Quarterly Reports might be on
of lower priority until the Bi-Annual Report is completed.
That said, it still does sound like there should be more discussion
and coordination between the Quarterly Report, Annual Report, and GNOME
Journal people. Perhaps this could be a topic of an upcoming Marketing
team IRC meeting?
Also, a few months ago the GNOME Marketing Team was discussing having a
hackfest, but there has been no discussion recently. There sure does
seem to be a lot of work that would justify getting key GNOME marketing
people together to push forward on these and other activities.

Emily:
I very much agree that the GNOME Journal and Quarterly Reports should
be combined. I think it would make sense for the combined thing to
continue as GNOME Journal and just stop doing Quarterly Reports.
The Quarterly Reports have been useful tools in helping to make the
Annual Report, so perhaps GNOME Journal could be enhanced to cover
these topics instead of having a separate Quarterly Report.
Also, it would be nice if we had a periodical that was a bit more
focused on being something to share with the GNOME User's Groups. I
think adding the "User Group Report" to the latest Quarterly Reports
was an effort at providing more periodic information about what is
going on in the GNOME User Group community. However, I suspect we
could do more to make the GNOME Journal something that focuses on
GNOME User's Groups as an important topic and audience.

Reading through the old 2010 quarterly reports, they honestly
remind me
more of journal articles than straight reports like the more
recent 2011
reports have been. As a result, I can't help but to wonder if we
could
somehow combine the future Quarterly reports with the GNOME
journal in
some way, thereby giving them more publicity. Perhaps ask folks
to write
about what they/their project are doing for the GNOME Journal
and then
we could summarize that into the quarterly report along with more
bare-bones facts for the board/donors/etc?
Also, any status report on the movement of GNOME Journal to
gnome.org <http://gnome.org>
<http://gnome.org> servers?
