The broad goal of a Marketing function is to let as many folks "know"
about GNOME which in turn means provide guidance and support towards
events, activities, material that allow folks to "know" about GNOME. The
thing is that we discuss a lot of things, but the action items are kind
of limited due to the regional pockets not being aware enough of how to
contribute their bits.
