Friends of GNOME subscriptions

[Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>]

Hi GNOME Marketing folks,

It's time to think about our next Friends of GNOME campaign!

A few weeks ago we sent out the tshirts for people that had been subscribed to monthly payments for a year. Between yesterday and today 9 people have unsubscribed. I don't know if it's related or not but it does make a case for a new incentive for the second year!

Some thoughts I have for a new campaign:

1. Make it related to GNOME 3.0.

2. Use a banner on gnome.org like we did for the sys admin campaign.

3. Count number of subscribers instead of dollar amount.

We need a slogan and a goal. And a gift.

We have about 100 subscribers now. I'd like to see us have 500. I think that's only doable if we manage to reach out to users ... (And perhaps we should have a shorter term goal ... we could also offer prizes for random people that sign up. So the 30, 58, 74th people get tshirts or something.)

As for a slogan, something related to GNOME 3.0 ...

Thoughts?
