Re: Google Code In::GNOME User Groups: Update contact details

[Dave Neary <dneary gnome org>]

Hi,

(ahem) Allow me to give some context. Ognyan, the task is intended to
get you working with the marketing team to get a concrete result - so I
was hoping you might present yourself, and what you understood the task
to be.

Ognyan is a student who has taken on the "Google Code-In" task of
updating our list of GNOME user groups worldwide.

The task description is:

Contact all GNOME user groups listed on the UserGroups wiki page. Ensure
that we know the name of a person who is the primary contact person for
the group. Update the user group information based on feedback,
including membership size, events attended, group actions, etc.
Broadcast more widely your task, to potentially find out about (and
encourage the creation of) other user groups. A world map of coverage of
GNOME user groups would be a nice touch (could be like a travel map).

I asked Ognyan to contact this list to state his intention to work on
the task, co-ordinate with Fred, who I know is already working on this,
and work through this list.

I also want to avoid a repeat of what happened last time, when a student
sent an unreviewed, unsolicited email to all the contacts listed in the
page, and then didn't finish the task, without ever giving a progress
report.

Ognyan, meet the GNOME marketing team. GNOME marketing team, Ognyan.

Cheers,
Dave.
