Marketing Hackfest Details

Hello Marketing Team!

We're just 3 weeks away from the Marketing Hackfest in Chicago.  Guy had a great idea to create a wiki page with the hackfest details, and I have a first draft up at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/MarketingHackfest2009.

This page is still a work in progress - there are lots of details to add, so feel free to add to it.

If you're coming, please add your name and travel details if they're set.

Hope to see you there!

Paul

Is there any possibility of either web-casting or video-conferencing this event?  Or at the very least recording it for later consumption?

I (and I presume others in the world) would love to attend and contribute, but I have no hope of being there physically. 

I appreciate that this could be expensive and/or a hassle, so I expect the answer "no".  But perhaps the GNOME powers-that-be could investigate setting up infrastructure for this purpose in future events?

Thanks,

John

I would think that Google, being the tech-savvy company that they are
probably does have some videoconferencing facilities.  Would be good
to check out what they might be able to offer us.

Though, their videoconferencing services might only work between various
Google offices, so it might depend on whether or not interested people
have a nearby Google office that they could visit.  This might work well
for people in the bay area, for example.

No doubt it might. But what if you don't live there? My understanding is that GNOME is not a Californian, or indeed US, organisation. It is global, so a global solution is needed.

Also the continuing use of physical meetings in a time of recession, peak oil and climate change, seems a bit old-school to me. I have no doubt that physical meetings are far (far!) superior to virtual-only meetings; but having the option of virtual participation would seem to be appropriate for an organisation that sees itself as leading and cutting-edge. Isn't the latest GNOME version "Made for sharing"?

Sorry for the rant. Sometimes us folks who are not in the USA, UK or EU feel a bit left out ... <sniff> :-)

And sometimes those of us who do attend all the events physically wish
we could get the virtual stuff ironed out as well! :-) My partner and
her kids would like to see way more of me than they do. :-)

The physical meetings are, IMHO, very important... but if we had a
system that was a real replacement for physical meetings, that would
be fantastic.

Best,

Zonker

I will bring a camcorder to the hackfest and do my best to make sure all the discussion and brainstorming sessions are captured.

GNOME is willing to help with travel costs if people have the time to spare.  Having attended a docs hackfest earlier in the year, there is nothing quite like it, in my opinion.  The energy and flow of ideas from meeting in person really seem to drive engagement.
