Re: Friends of GNOME Web Pages

[Rosanna Yuen <zana gnome org>]

Hello, Engagement team!

Is there a time frame for implementing these changes?  A few of us are deciding whether it is worthwhile to pursue alternate (and probably cheaper) methods of shipping gifts, but if we are going to do away with gifts in the near future, it may be better to just use up current stock.  

As for the mockup, it looks really nice!  I do have a couple of comments about it:

1) It is a shift to stop referring to one-time donors as "Friends of GNOME".  Is this a conscious change?

2) We have had people request annual subscriptions that occur once a year.  This is easier for them to be able to get employer matching.  Would that be possible to implement these subscriptions on the form?  And perhaps point the possibly of employer matching to people?

3) Under "Details", there is a checkbox for "Don't list me on the members page".  Should "members" be replaced by "donors"?  Otherwise it would be confusion between Foundation memberships and Friends of GNOME memberships.

Thanks,

Rosanna

Hi all,

During the Engagement BoF at GUADEC, we spent a bit of time discussing
Friends of GNOME. As a follow-on, I've resurrected my wireframes for
the Support Us/Friends of GNOME web pages:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-marketing/master/websites/friends-of-gnome/friends-of-gnome.png

There are a few goals/significant changes here:

 * Provides a more elaborate case for why donating is important, and
how donations are used.
 * Makes it clear that Friends of GNOME is for regular monthly
donations, and clearly separates them from one time donations.
 * Greatly simplifies the options.
 * Drops the adopt a hacker scheme, along with promises of gifts. This
is mostly to simplify things on our end; I think we'd still like to
send postcards, but more as a surprise bonus rather than as a promise.
 * Adds a questionnaire, so we can gather more information on who is
donating and why.

I'd be happy to carry on developing this mockups. I can also help with
text and visual assets if anyone wants to work on web development for
this.
