Finally wrapped up the very long thread on the Foundation list and most of the side conversations.
Met with a couple of advisory board members (via phone, email and IRC) to discuss funding and GUADEC.
We are partnering with Project::Possibility! Look for updates from the GNOME accessibility folks.
Got all the GNOME Q4 report updates in the report and edited except for one … actively waiting on that one!
Read all the Google Grants instructions, set up an Adwords account, set up campaigns, ad groups, ads and keywords. Was ready to submit and the checklist says we need at least two ads per adgroup, so going back to fill in today. (Also got a login on our Piwik account from Jaap Haitsma to see gnome.org web page traffic to help evaluate our adwords usage.)
Sent out requests for sponsorship for the usability hackfest.
Attended GNOME board meeting.
Met with Jim Zemlin from the Linux Foundation. Briefly discussed Collaboration Summit, GNOME participation, mobile, Moblin and fundraising/memberships.
Sent out thank you’s for Friends of GNOME.
Worked with Grace Hopper (a women in computing conference) on FOSS (free and open source) plans for the conference. They were already working on it and they’ve added me to the group discussing the plans. It’s looking promising.
Attended Snowy (Tomboy Online) IRC meeting.
Talked to Gregoire Gentil from Always Innovating. Their Touch Book uses GNOME technologies. They’d love to see better touch screen support for GNOME. (Right now you have to use a stylus instead of fingers.) Set up tentative plans to meet in person at the Collaboration Summit.
Helped with a couple of things (panel, lightening talks, schedule) for OSCON and for the Women in Open Source miniconference at SCALE.
Luis de Bethencourt is going to represent GNOME at FOSS Nigeria. Thanks to AgustÃn Benito Bethencourt for recruiting him.
Chuck Payne and Zonker will represent GNOME at the Texas Linux Fest.
Worked on planning my travel for the year. I’d love to see more people officially representing GNOME at events.
