Spreading the word about 2.28

Hi,
Some simple ideas of things we could do to better spread the word about our new release (i.e. make it easier to let others promote the new release): - Links to quickly post a comment in Facebook/Identi.ca/Twitter/Digg about the release. Funny phrases would be a plus. Ideas? - Release banner to post on your blog. We always informally copy/resize/edit the front page banner to post something in our blogs about the release. The results are not always nice. Maybe we should just have a wiki page with proper images for blog posts or something. This could all be in a wiki page like: http://live.gnome.org/Promote2.28 or something like this. Thoughts? --lucasr -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list |

I like both ideas.
Snappy, funny phrases are not necessarily my strength, but here are some to get people going: (Borrowing from the release notes ...) * GNOME 2.28 - supported by Friends of GNOME * GNOME has more friends than ever - join with GNOME 2.28 * Become unwired - Bluetooth in GNOME 2.28 * Out of time and don't know why? Try Time Tracker in GNOME 2.28 * Cheese! Manage your pictures while traveling. Use Cheese on your netbook with GNOME 2.28. * Need to annotate PDFs? Try Evince on GNOME 2.28! And my art work would definitely be painful, so I let someone else start that! (I'll start working on my blog post that needs a banner!)

Maybe a theme around "sharing"
GNOME 2.28 - Learning to Share * Share your Bluetooth devices (Bluetooth to computer, Bluetooth phones sharing internet access) * Empathy - Share your location, Share your desktop * Cheese - Share your photos from your webcam I'm not very creative, that's all I've got.

But as I was told to be constructive maybe "Created to Share"? andre -- mailto:ak-47@... | failed http://www.iomc.de/ | http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list |

Good point. Or "Built for Sharing" / "Built to Share"
Just one idea, let's hear some more! On Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 1:43 PM, Andre Klapper <ak-47@...> wrote: Am Montag, den 21.09.2009, 13:34 -0500 schrieb Paul Cutler: -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list |

Or perhaps "Made to Share", which can mean the same thing, but is also a bit of a play on the phrase commonly used to describe large portions in certain dining institutions :) Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:calum.benson@...

Hey all,
Just to get something started I created an initial page: http://live.gnome.org/PromoteTwoPointTwentyTwo Please, increment and improve the content there! I wonder if we should have a more readable url like www.gnome.org/promote/2.28 that redirects to this wiki page. Another crazy idea would be something like www.gnome.org/madetoshare or something. Ideas? --lucasr 2009/9/19 Lucas Rocha <lucasr@...>: > Hi, > > Some simple ideas of things we could do to better spread the word > about our new release (i.e. make it easier to let others promote the > new release): > > - Links to quickly post a comment in Facebook/Identi.ca/Twitter/Digg > about the release.

Awesome!
I added some thoughts under microblogging and news articles. I'm rather tired so I'm not sure I'm the one that should be proof reading ... I didn't know how to find the link to a specific dent on identi.ca.
