Re: I suck



Hi Emily,

This was for teh annual report - it went on the ideas page, at least, and I claimed it, so I believe it should still be in the annual report plan.

I'll happily forward everything on.

Cheers,
Dave.

Hey Dave,

Before we choose, why don't we go over what you have, and decide which
would be better/more practical at this point. I'd suggest either
publishing what you have on the wiki or putting it in a google doc. Or
you can simply send me what you have - whichever you prefer - and I/we
can sort through it and see what we think would be best. If it ends up
being too much work to do the magazine type feature you imagined for the
annual report, perhaps another option would be to publish it as a
special feature on gnome.org <http://gnome.org>.

GNOME Journal has unfortunately floundered once again - I'm not entirely
sure if it was ever updated to wordpress on gnome's servers, and I've
never received any articles for it from anyone else :( At this point,
I'm not sure a separate journal is practical, and lean more towards
simply publishing material on gnome.org <http://gnome.org> as it becomes
available, then saving it in an archive by month/yr. Though I am
certainly open to other suggestions.

    Hi all,

    Yes, I suck.

    Way back in (so long ago I don't even remember which month) I
    interviewedd Marina about herself, her history in GNOME, her plans
    for WSOP and more. It was a great interview, and she put lots of
    time and effort into answering my questions, we did an IRC follow-up
    that added lots of colour to it, and my plan was to take all that
    material and do a really nice magazine-feature type interview,
    rather than just Q&A.

    Unfortunately, I never got around to it.

    So, to prevent myself from being a road-block to having the
    interview published in the annual report, I will remove myself from
    the process. We have a few options:
    * Print the Q&A which Marina answered in December and January as
    they are (with grammar checks and what not)
    * I can hand over Q&A and IRC logs, and let someone else have a go
    at doing the nice magazine-feature style interview-article.

    I believe I have previously sent everything in with a note "just in
    case I don't get around to it", but I don't recall to whom I sent
    the interview.

    So - option A or option B? Emily, are you still guiding the Journal
    through its difficult birthing? Would you care to choose for me?

    Thanks! And sorry.
    Dave.
