Re: Annual Report, GNOME Journal & Quarterly Reports

[Brian Cameron <brian cameron oracle com>]

Emily:

I very much agree that the GNOME Journal and Quarterly Reports should
be combined.  I think it would make sense for the combined thing to
continue as GNOME Journal and just stop doing Quarterly Reports.

The Quarterly Reports have been useful tools in helping to make the
Annual Report, so perhaps GNOME Journal could be enhanced to cover
these topics instead of having a separate Quarterly Report.

Also, it would be nice if we had a periodical that was a bit more
focused on being something to share with the GNOME User's Groups.  I
think adding the "User Group Report" to the latest Quarterly Reports was 
an effort at providing more periodic information about what is
going on in the GNOME User Group community.  However, I suspect we
could do more to make the GNOME Journal something that focuses on
GNOME User's Groups as an important topic and audience.
