Stormy's Update: Weeks of February 15th and 22nd

[Stormy Peters <stormy gnome org>]

I think the number of different projects and conversations I am having has maxed out my multiprocessing capabilities. This week I am going to spend more time logged out of email and working on one project at a time.

Last week I:

• Presented at IASA. Great conversation. Very interactive group. Made a couple of local government contacts - people involved in promoting open source in government IT infrastructure.
  
• Attended OSS Watch phone Advisory Board Meeting.
• Worked on GUADEC sponsorship. It's coming along well. Still waiting for a lot of people to finalize plans through.
  
• Advisory board meetings. Met with several more adboard members - still haven't met with everyone though!
  
• Board meeting.
• GNOME Foundation IRC meeting.
  
• Several good meetings with Rosanna.
• Updating the Friends of GNOME gifts spreadsheet for Rosanna (ping her a lot with questions.) I sent her the list of Friends of GNOME Adopt a Hacker folks who have earned their tshirt!
• Sent new Adopt a Hacker folks contact info to people that will send them post cards.
  
• Settled on date and location for Meet the Funders in California. Need to finalize date for New York.
• Looked into adding conversion tracking to our GNOME ads on Google Adwords.
• Attended Women's Caucus meeting. They will have an all day track Sunday at Libre Planet.
• Attended the Grace Hopper Open Source track committee meeting.
• Didn't attend the OpenWorld Forum meeting as they only dial in number was an international number.
• Agreed to give GNOME keynote at LinuxTag. Johannes Schmid agreed to put together the GNOME track. Please contact him if you are interested in speaking about GNOME at LinuxTag.
• Sent out thank you email to Friends of GNOME.
• Worried about all the GNOME folks in Chile. 
• I think we are almost ready to launch the Friends of GNOME ruler. At least it looks very good and I wrote an intro email for the launch!
• Students on Project Possibility picked several GNOME projects - work on Caribou and Orca.
• Worked on GNOME's participation at Idlelo 4. Vincent is also working on this.
  
• Had a gazillion email conversations on a trillion different topics.
  

 This week:

• Letter for annual report.
• Friends of GNOME & Google ads: conversion tracking codes and landing pages.
• Finish Friends of GNOME gift spreadsheet update.
• Make sure all GNOME events are on track and well represented by speakers. Help if I can. (Finding people, not attending them all!)
• Catch up on all my email conversations and make sure nobody is waiting on me ...

I get very little feedback to these updates. Feel free to leave 
feedback, ideas or comments.
