Tim :
GNOME now has a media sponsorship agreement with OSDL provides online
coverage, and mention in their newsletter for GUADEC.
GNOME 2 book is almost ready to ship, should be ready to start shipping
within one month. Fee schedule leans toward selling copies directly or on
gnome.org. Administrative over head of selling on the web likely to be
prohibitive, but it might be useful to provide a link/tie-in from GUADEC
registration.
Licensing trademark for tee-shirts. Several open requests are pending,
guidelines are almost ready. Target is to have a 2nd draft of the
agreement within one week that keeps copyright on foot with gnome but
leaves vendor with copyright of resulting tee-shirt. The lawyers aim to
have this license general enough to be reused for other merchandise.
Do we want to consider offering exclusive licenses within regions ?
: Decision to table this for the foreseeable future pending a request for
that type of agreement.
Offer of Hardware
Murray forwarded an offer from Sun for some hardware to test build with
forte. While the hardware would be nice there are no resources to
administrate it. Glynn to look into the possibility of having Sun hosting
such a machine.
GNOME Roadmap
Dave has filled in a few pieces of collaboration and scripting. Aims
to get something to have something to review next week.
Clarification of Membership
How inclusive does the foundation want to be. Is it sufficient to just use
gnome libraries somehow ? To date we've required some level of
contribution, from reporting a bug through to documenting or coding.
'Any activity, such as advocacy or submitting bug reports, must
substantially exceed the level of contribution expected of an ordinary
user or fan of the project to qualify an individual for membership in
the Foundation.'
The consensus is that these guidelines are sufficient. Just working on an
application is _not_ sufficient. There needs to be some engagement with
the community
- filing a few bug reports
- Community considers the application for inclusion somewhere in gnome
(eg fifth toe)
