Re: Hello - wish to contribute to GNOME Marketing

[Brett Legree <brett legree gmail com>]

Good morning Karen - and thank you!

I would love to help out and that looks like a great place to start, so I will jump right in. I'll definitely be around on IRC (I was out yesterday, actually - had to shake out the cobwebs and remember how to use it, it has been years...)

Once I have some feedback I will let the team know, and after I get my feet wet and have some experience, I'm definitely keen to work on new projects as they arise too.

Thanks again,

-Brett

Welcome Brett! An easy thing if you're looking for getting started is to
read the materials we've got up in draft form for our biannual report and
just help us make sure everything is readable, checking for typos and the
like!

A lot of the materials are linked to from here:
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/AnnualReport/AnnualReport2011

Whether it's this or something else you get involved in, thanks in advance
and hope to see you in the IRC channel! :)
