Re: Enterprise Engagement, at the distribution level...

[Alex GS <alxgrtnstrngl gmail com>]

Enterprise Engagement is a project that I'm working on focused around community outreach and collaboration with professional developers, start-ups and companies.  It's focus is on working with companies to optimize GNOME Shell as a tool they can use as a default desktop on their Linux/Unix workstations and encouraging the use of GNOME technologies in professional products.  The aim is to not only build a large thriving community of professional developers contributing to GNOME software but to build sponsorship opportunities for GNOME in terms of resources and finances.  My goal is to sign up a few hundred companies/start-ups/groups for this program.

The immediate goal of contacting the distributions is that they have direct access to professional/corporate end-users and for this project to succeed I'll need to work directly with their desktop teams.

If you could explain what you're trying to achieve, it would be useful
before emailing people on behalf of GNOME...
