I think it makes sense one per event box. We have three, one i
 America and two in Europe. BTW, we can also think about 
moving one from Europe to Asia.

AFAIK, openSUSE is the first one, 11-14 September.

Evolution, Gedit?
And in case they are not suitable [yet], I'd wonder if we have criteria
for Featured Apps, and what they are?

Same problem here...

We already talked about this last year (when the box had
'UPS-disappeared') and think it is not convenient for Asia due to
transportation mode and troubles with the customs from country to
country. Eventually one per country could make sense (we need to see
where events happen) and should we move forward with this option I
believe GNOME.Asia Summit should be able to provide funding for it. I
think we'd like to have committed people in those countries with event
box before moving forward though.

Thank for thinking of us.

Fred

gnome3.org in a post-3.0 world

Hi!
I was pondering what to do with gnome3.org once we release 3.2 last night.
Much of the intention of gnome3.org was to make a site with a easy url 
with some information about our (then upcoming) product. This was 
especially useful since we could still talk about the current GNOME 
(2.X) on gnome.org in parallel. These days gnome3.org and gnome.org, 
especially http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/ have a lot of overlap. Almost 
all of the useful bits actually.
Therefore I suggest we start pointing the gnome3.org domain to 
gnome.org/gnome-3/ when we release 3.2 (and the content on that page 
needs to be slightly updated to reflect the 3.2 changes of course).
- Andreas

Hey Andreas.

I fully agree with this.

As 'featured' is purely a marketing function, "are they marketable",
is the only criteria. Basically, awesome and appealing to a wide
audience. By that standard, I would exclude Evolution and Gedit;
Evolution for a variety of factors: mainly, its stability and because
it's competing against webmail at a time when the trend is strongly
toward webmail and Gedit because it has a very narrow (though no less
important) audience.

Scribus and VLC (mostly) are Qt-based and so are therefore only
tangentially in our ecosystem.

Transmission is cross-toolkit though no less a good GNOME citizen.

Frankly, we, like all the DE's, don't have a lot of shining examples
to pick from because of the history of needless desktop fragmentation.

+1

I've updated the 3.2 wiki page accordingly:
