T-shirt contest and GNOME Friends promotion

[Frederic Muller <fredm gnome org>]

Dear all,

I'm cross posting since I guess the 3 lists might reach different 
people. I would like to follow up on that last foundation IRC meeting 
and highlight one of the point we talked about: T-shirt contest and 
GNOME Friends promotion.

Each of us can do our little part and post a badge on their BLOG and 
user group, should it be a GNOME or Linux or Free Software User Group (o 
any other kind as long as it makes sense). We're aiming at getting 400 
new FoG as soon as possible (maybe we could pick a deadline).

Badges can be found at this page:

The other things which would be nice is to write a post and place it of 
the front page of your blog/user group about the T-shirt contest. This 
can definitely be a news for your group.

Following the IRC meeting 3 UG have already done. It's not much but it's 
a start. You can check those for reference:

(discussing with Phnom Penh LUG, Qingdao LUG and Moonos - a GNOME 
distribution)

Blogs:

We've also discussed about creating some slides for UGs about GNOME in 
general and finding topics "anyone" could present. If someone is 
interest or has any existing content which could be adapted let's start 
 page below http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups .

One of the first idea what to present FoG and what The GNOME Foundation 
does with those founds, how it helps making GNOME GNOME . I think I 
unofficially got this one assigned to me. ;-) Any other innovative idea 
welcome.

Thanks a lot for your help, any small effort matters.

Fred
