Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm back again and will start on getting everything on its feet. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The first move I'll make is to publicise Simon's backgrounds on gentoo.org and |
| 6 |
start writing a Presentation-HOWTO, which will inform the user how to create a |
| 7 |
presentation based on certain guidelines. Those guidelines should be strict and |
| 8 |
clear. Given those guidelines, the presentations have to be readable by all |
| 9 |
users, easy to follow, easy to print, etc. I will do some research on the |
| 10 |
possible guidelines and report those to the mailinglist. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
You know, all the things you dislike about certain presentations shouldn't be |
| 13 |
allowed :) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
At the same time I'll start asking input from other Gentoo projects about their |
| 16 |
mission statement, development roadmap, etc. Issues that are important, not only |
| 17 |
for the project members but also outsiders that want to know what is going on in |
| 18 |
a project. This information needs to be made public on their project pages. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Based on that information those projects should be able to create a presentation |
| 21 |
about themselves ("Gentoo Cluster Project", "Gentoo Hardened Project", "Gentoo |
| 22 |
Kernel Project", "Gentoo Documentation Project", ...) which should be made |
| 23 |
available. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
We might also want to start writing up a nice document on the upcoming 2004.0 |
| 26 |
release. Based on the information given from the releng team |
| 27 |
(http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng) and input from all projects we should be |
| 28 |
able to have a nice announce text ready. I'm not sure if Daniel wants to do the |
| 29 |
honours here - if so, our job is to make sure that all relevant news sites are |
| 30 |
informed about the release. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Another thing I want to start thinking about is how we can leverage the |
| 33 |
awareness to gain more coverage in both press and community. This includes |
| 34 |
providing more in-depth information on current development projects in Gentoo |
| 35 |
(foremost in the GWN, but also in other sources). |
| 36 |

Wkr, |
