Putting together our own privacy policy and then advertising it. Every
once in awhile report on it. Communicate this is what we want to be,
even though we are not there yet. Reflect some of our current practices
and as the technical part improves we can elaborate on it.
Biggest
concern is are we doing enough for the people who signed up that they
feel good about contributing to GNOME. The impression right now is that
we are not doign a great job of that right now. There is some
agreement with that. We are trying to improve, Tobias has sent thank
you cards to people who have contributed. We are hoping that the
contractor that we are working with will alleviate this issue. Nobody
should be dropped and not get the t-shirt or not get acknowledged when
they contributed money.
How
should we be addressing? Have a newsletter? How often? Quarterly?
Monthly. Allan doesn't think it has to be regular, it could be done at
certain points of time or interest. We can time it with a hackfest and
put out a comment where we thank contributors for making this happen so
that they know what events they are funding.
ACTION:
Allan and Karen will talk with Bastian and Matthias to see where we are
with the privacy controls. Things like privacy mode in Web would be
great.
ACTION: Sri will try to find other people to help volunteer.
* Annual Report 2012
We
really need to get going on the annual report. Dave Neary is right
that we need to get the right people to write the right articles. Last
year was tough because we relied on a committee of three. (It did get
done!)
ACTION:
Karen and Emily working on a wiki page to plan writing content.
Andreas is happy to contribute articles. Having more people contribute
the easier this task will be to complete.
* Communication with the release team
They
usually have meetings in IRC, but they are having a Face 2 Face meeting
at FOSDEM. Would be great if someone could send the minutes from that
meeting to the marketing meeting.
We could also invite some of the release team members to marketing list?
* Follow up on action items from the last meeting
ACTION: Andreas to check with Alberto if Healtcheck can be done for all modules.
ACTION Andreas to look into creating materials for FOSDEM (DONE)
ACTION: Emily to post on the Forums (on going)
* Going to post a call for help on the annual report.
ACTION: Karen will work on a general privacy statement from GNOME (on going)
ACTION: Andreas to look at design area of forums as well as re-doign their theme
* waiting on a proposal so that they have something to switch.
ACTION:
Karen to setup regular call with release and marketing teams to better
coordinate messaging with releases (cancelled - Allan was talking to
release team in particpating.. we should meet with them prior to any big
decisions)
ACTION: Karen will open up a dialogue for more formal communication between release team and marketing team.
