Folks,

As you know, GNOME 3 will be coming out *very* soon and soon after that, we will be providing GNOME3 with 11.4.  We will even be shipping LiveCDs to GNOME Foundation with GNOME3 built in.

GNOME Foundation is doing a lot of work to organize the launch of GNOME3.  But like any other project, there's never quite enough launch parties.  We also have our own launch parties (yes some will continue on in the next months ahead even if March 10 was our launch date.)

Launch Parties?? Did someone just called me? ;-) 2 more to come for openSUSE 11.4 in the next 50 days but I could easily organize a 'Gnome Rock Party' here in Thesssaloniki. I though about get in contact with Gnome foundation about it but I thought it late since the expire date was 15 Feb 2011 as I saw in their page. Do you happen to know if we can still register? If we can I can and will organize at least one in the next month or so. In my region so far the Greek Gnome community has show no action so I believe I can do it without a problem, of course I will try to reach them if we finally can do a Gnome launch party...

I think it will develop strong goodwill between projects if we can either plan co-launch parties with GNOME Foundation or, in regions where there is no one to have GNOME3 launch parties, consider offering a 11.4 launch party and invite GNOME3 to join in on the launch party.  Or, if a GNOME Ambassador is not in your area, consider doing it yourself.  I am certain that the GNOME Foundation will appreciate and remember the support that openSUSE has given to raising visibility.   GNOME is one of several important desktops that openSUSE provides and we should show our appreciation for the hard work that upstream projects do that help make our own Project even better.

Both GNOME and openSUSE are equally generating good noise out there right now.  Combined, we can take that noise to a higher level.

Along this same vein, I mention GNOME3 because it is just around the corner.  But in fact, we should definitely look for other opportunities to co-launch with other projects whose software we use to make openSUSE as awesome as it is today.  Any other interesting launches coming up that we should think about?
