Re: [Usability] GNOME Quarterly Report Q2/2012

[Allan Caeg <allancaeg gmail com>]

Sounds like a good idea in terms of making sure all newsworthy pieces are covered. This will also help show what dimensions of GNOME are/should be covered, which will ultimately identify what teams are necessary for GNOME's success. This may show us the need to split, merge, or modify teams.

On the other hand, an advantage of listing teams is helping ensure they're all moving forward every quarter. The idea is those different teams are covering needs that are required to keep GNOME healthy. If they aren't active enough to even write a short report on time, a dimension of GNOME might be unattended. 

Maybe a combination of starting from the newsworthy and starting from the team would work. 

Thoughts?

Please update your section for Q2/2012 here:

The list of potential teams and writers:

Just to turn this on its head for a second, can we come at this from another angle? Instead of identifying teams who should report, how about we think about what's happened that might be newsworthy, and then figure out who's best placed to report on it?

The stuff that comes to mind for me is:
 * Board elections + review of last board year
 * GUADEC 2013 call for hosts out (and, related, no Desktop Summit in 2013)
 * GUADEC 2012 keynotes to be announced
 * Half-way point in Women's Outreach Program
 * GNOME in Google Summer of Code


Anything else? I haven't been following too closely this quarter.

Cheers,
Dave.
