The aim for the User Experience Advocates BoF [1] is to talk about the
desirability and feasibility of promoting UX Advocates across the GNOME

developers think of the proposal, and to brainstorm how a GNOME UX
Advocates programme might work.

David Siegal has written a blog post [2] about the UX Advocates project,
as have I [3]. There was also a discussion on the Usability list which
might be relevant [4].
