Re: Getting some students in communication helping with copywriting & web?

[Paul Cutler <pcutler gnome org>]

Dave,

This looks awesome, I'm willing to help as well.

Two other projects are reviewing and updating the new GNOME.org content - we've got a good first pass (that also needs to be finished) and we did some planning against a second level of content that students could work on. 

Another projects is helping to migrate GNOME Journal from it's current CMS to Wordpress - it's tedious, but someone would need to go through all of the content, update the permalinks, update all of the photos and links to them in the articles, etc.  I would put that under your "boring" header for Marcomm.  :)

Great, that's a couple of volunteers, and should be enough to get us
started. I'll check whether it's possible to propose tutored projects
through the foundation, if not, I can proxy for GNOME here.

A few project ideas I had in this area were:
* Working on those stock presentations & storyboards we've been talking
about for years
* Doing some promotional videos
* Doing "boring" marcomm work related to marketing materials (t-shirts,
posters, etc) to improve our conference presence in general
* Of course, it's possible to suggest web work & copywriting too, but I
don't think we could easily make a degree-sized project easily for that.

Cheers,
Dave.
