Re: draft for Friends of GNOME campaign

[Viktor Machek <machek gmail com>]

Hi all.
I apologize for entering into the discussion, but in my opinion should be presented as a Gnome user friendly desktop. Version 3 has made a great leap forward, it is very technologically advanced desktop. Now we should think how to show people that it is usable. So I think it would be preferable (except slogan User friendly desktop) directly represent users and show their work with Gnome. Examples are the best.

In summary:
- User friendly desktop for all - just a slogan to rule them all :-)
- Short video clips and examples of users work with gnome
- "Why and for what I use Gnome?" "On what computer / laptop / monitor usingGnome" direct answers and articles users

This should be part of a campaign that could be directly targeted in two directions: to show benefits of regular Gnome users and also invite them to participate to improve the user experience when using the Gnome desktop.

What should be the main objective of this campaign? New users of Gnome or greater involvement in the preparation of new friends next release of Gnome?

Best regards

Viktor Machek - fan of Gnome :-)

Hi Karen,

jjmarin and I are working on this text to promote the FoG campaign we hope
to launch next week. How can we improve it? Also, do you like "Make 2012
the year of accessibility for GNOME" as a short tagline?

I hate to say it, but I'm not sure if Accessibility as an abstract concept will sell.

Do we have some examples of GNOME users whose lives were made measurably better because of the a11y work we've done? Show-cases work wonders.

With your help we can start tackling those goals. Let's kickstart 2012 as
the Year of Accessibility at GNOME and make the most usable desktop
environment the most accessible desktop environment!

Do we have any specific improvements (and the reasons why they're important - or the people for whom they're important) to point to?

Cheers,
Dave.
