Re: GNOME in the press - 2012-12-05

[Emily Gonyer <emilyyrose gmail com>]

I have to say I that I largely agree with datamations point that its
marketing that GNOME needs most now. GNOME needs us to be
communicating what we're doing, when we're doing it and why - not just
to ourselves, but to the wider public as well.

The "irreparable harm" quote in LinuxInsider comes from someone I've
actually met by the way. I met Kevin O'Brien at Ohio Linux Fest and am
scheduled to go meet up with him and his LUG in Ann Arbor, MI in March
and do a small presentation on GNOME (though I may ask to postpone
that till April when both the weather will (hopefully) be better and
3.8 will be out). From my (admittedly brief) conversations with him at
OLF he seemed like a nice guy, though like many he didn't seem to know
much about GNOME 3 - though he was interested enough in GNOME to
invite me up there.
