Contribution workflow publicity campaign

[aday gnome org]

Hi all,

If you're not aware, Carlos Soriano launched a new workflow for contributors last Friday:

https://csorianognome.wordpress.com/2017/04/07/the-new-contribution-workflow-for-gnome/

There has been a great response to his blog post. It has been featured on LWN and has been highly ranked on Hacker News over the weekend.  The story clearly resonates and it reflects really well on the GNOME project.

It would be great if those of us in the Engagement Team could work to maximise the positive impact we get out of this story. This could include:

 • Follow-up blog posts - either writing them ourselves or prompting community members to write them

 • Planning a social media strategy on this theme

 • Creating additional media, such a screencasts

 • Publicising associated news - eg. getting more details on which apps can be built in this way and publicising the list, or announcing when new apps can be worked on this way

 • Collecting and sharing positive feedback

I will be around on IRC if anyone would like to discuss working on this.

This is a fantastic opportunity; let's not let it pass us by.
