Re: marketing hackfest?

[Sriram Ramkrishna <sri ramkrishna me>]

Let me see off the top of my head:

* updated marketing materials for conferences - 

* talking points when discussing GNOME with others, formulating a FAQ

* outreach discussion - we do this, but we need to really need to come up with an action plan

* re-do the marketing wiki page

* conference bling - what new stuff can we give out at conference

* New T-shirt design?

* implement GSOC volunteer capture on the website

* pursue new ideas through brainstorming and interaction

* press kit improvements

* conference kit improvements

* lingering action items that need to be completed.

* reaching out to non-tech sectors

* reaching out to kids

* reaching out to parents

* reaching out to LGBT

* selling our _javascript_ platform to web folks

I'm really serious about getting images out, it's an important factor in getting volunteers.. we should probably discuss what other infrastructure improvements we could make.

* beer / team building

That should be about two days worth of stuff right there.  I know that we have the capacity of to use an entire hour or more in our marketing meeting.

Anything else, we can talk about?

I think there are a lot of things we could work on, but one big thing we
want to do is to better articulate why GNOME and free software generally
is so important. Also, our marketing materials site is old and seriously
out of date so on the more mundane side, combing through those materials,
reorganizing them and figuring out if there's anything new that we need
would probably be very useful.

I'm sure others have ideas too.
