2. We have unexpected lot of people considering that we are online 4-5
days and the purpose of this blog was mostly to have people talking. So
can we have
some small interviews from the BoD of GNOME? -mostly talking for the
future of GNOME on commercial use, touch screens etc...

Perhaps not the board, but I think the idea of short blog-sized interviews going out weekly is a great idea. We need a list of interviewees and volunteer interviewers, and someone watching out for people we can add to the list/bump to the top as current news requires.\

There is no need to complicate things :) We would like to have interviews with developers from specific projects: gtk/clutter porting to wayland, mutter/shell, epiphany, boxes, online accounts -as priority. I asked also BoD because, it would be nice if someone could talk about the marketing goals of GNOME. But in general yes we want in a weekly base people from GNOME to talk on public.  

3. We want to post some successfully GNOME deployment stories but your
page (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/GnomeDeployments) is
outdated :(
Any other source I can look for?

I'm afraid not! That list was put together originally in 2006, partially updated in 2008, and as Juanjo said, he updated details on 1 or 2 deployments this year. But we're lacking a good way to find out about reference deployments of GNOME because a lot of them are Red Hat Enterprise deployments or Suse Linux. We've actually had more success getting references from Suse and Ubuntu than from Red Hat for some reason. Not sure why that is.

Maybe the guys from RH could give us some info about the deployments they do, or it is secret? :) 

 

4. We want to run a contest "file a bug for a sticker". So whoever file
a new bug we will send him a gnome sticker. Possibly none will response
to this, but
you never know, so we need to have some, but where we can buy from?

I don't think we've ever had stickers to sell, but we often print out sticker sheets for conferences. Perhaps someone from gnome-fr or GNOME can send you some, if we have an address.

At some point a GNOME online store wouldn't be bad idea, not for the profit but everyone has one :) I will ask Greek GNOME ambassador for it then. 

 

May I ask who "we" is?

Hmm? I am referring to wogue blog if is that what you asking

 

Cheers,
Dave.
