I searched "local" by title (no relevant results) and by text (too much results) and din't find this page. A first step into "certification" would be to agree a name for these groups. :) Another step could be to agree on a checklist of required + desirable points. Some of them are already there as recommendations. - Active mailing list for coordination - Website up to date - Responsive IRC channel - GNOME Foundation members in the group - Agreed contact with the GNOME Foundation - Local press contact - Democratic and non-profit structure (legal existence desirable) Perhaps a first question would be whether we need to have something like an official list of GNOME groups and a checklist to know if your group is official or not. I think some kind of certification is needed to avoid conflicts like i.e. which is the "real" Russian GNOME website (or are both as "real"?) or risks like some guys linked to a profit company weaving the GNOME flag for selfish interests in a part of the planet where it is difficult to us to check what's going on. In the new www.gnome.org we want to map all the official GNOME subsites, and the local groups are related to a big percentage of them: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWeb/GnomeSubsites . This one reason to have an official list with some kind of control from the GNOME Foundation. And one more thing that perhaps could help in the coordination Fernando was requesting. Since organization of meetings, participation in events and fundraising for such activities are a common and primary mission of the local groups, I wonder if it would be useful to have a gnome-local or gnome-events mailing list to exchange ideas and experiences. Now this is supposed to go to marketing-list but, really, I think many people very active in local activities can be not interested in many discussions going on in marketing-list. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
