Organising GNOME News

[Allan Day <allanpday gmail com>]

Hi all,

We can do a much better job at organising our news generating
activities, so that we have a more regular flow of posts and so that
we adequately cover events when they happen.

To this end, I've started some planning pages on the wiki. There's a
high-level [1] page covering goals and, perhaps more importantly,
there's also a planning page [2] that covers event planning and
content ideas.

I think we should have someone who is responsible for coordinating the
news around each GNOME event. They need to make sure that news stories
get written and proofed and go out on time, and they need to make sure
that necessary arrangements take place before each event. As I trial
run, I've put myself down as the news lead for FOSDEM 2012 [3]. If it
goes well I'm hoping that other people will volunteer to do other
events. I hope that this will give people an opportunity to get
involved in generating GNOME news and gives us a vehicle to get more
organised.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Allan
