happy birthday GNOME website!

As many of you know from GUADEC, GNOME's 15th anniversary is coming up
very soon - on August 15! Some of us were talking about putting up a
website, and after Andreas' suggestion at GUADEC I went ahead and
registered

HappyBirthdayGNOME.com and HappyBirthdayGNOME.org

What should we have on the site?

We've got all that great footage taken by the outreach participants at
GUADEC, which we should definitely use if we can...

We don't have a lot of time, so I think we should keep things simple, if
possible.

Re: happy birthday GNOME website!

How about a "look how far we've come" piece, very brief, could be done
with pictures e.g. a screenshot of GNOME 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 2.32, and the
latest build of 3.6 (or go with 3.4, if we want to keep it to
releases)?

That might be a nice visual retrospective.

This is a fantastic idea - thanks for making it happen!

A few ideas:
 * Leave a birthday message (probably too much work, and would require
moderation, but would be nice)
 * Some stats which summarise our accomplishments - number of commits,
committers, bugs fixed, releases, companies involved, number of
GUADECs, Foundation members, etc
 * A super short history - "In 1997 two university students set out to
create a Free Software desktop..."

I think it is important that the site is forward looking also. "Here's
to another 15 years" carries a good message.

Could be done with a twitter feed that pick up on hashtags possibly.

A simple photo gallery would be nice.
Deadline for when the site needs to be up is August 15th btw.
I'll start working on a design.

cool! I took all of the ideas thus far and put them here:
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/HappyBirthdayGNOME

If there's something you want to work on, add your name to the item!

I'll email jrb and see if there are any materials they have that we should
use from their talk (maybe we can post their talk, actually).

We can ping the GUADEC team and ask them if they could have that
keynote published in advance of the others.

Also, I think that some infographics+screenshots can be enough to
produce awesomeness.

I could think of a slideshow or vertical scroll which goes through the
most important GNOME versions by date (we won´t be able to get
screenshots of everything). Each "slide" has the screenshot, a small
memory of the context of it (from GUADEC talk) and perhaps a small
graph (this could also be independent) of contributors, commits. The
last one might be too tricky for the short time we have.

So I think we would have to write:
1. the main text on the top of the page
2. the memory for each screenshot
3. some other patches

I would decide now which versions we want to have on display, proposal:
1.4 = the last 1.x GNOME, shows off the "age of options", emphasis on
"the beginnings"
2.0 = the flamed 2.x release, with comments on the many activity it
had, emphasis on "dare to change"

Action items? I can contact Chema and the GUADEC team about the
history of GNOME video.

Would you like to start writing the memories for each release? Like I
said, I would only do a few releases, not all. See my previous
proposal.

Andreas perhaps might want to chime on what would be cool to gather
for the design: screenshots? old icons? the video?

You can try the GNOME 1.4 version:

http://calcifer.org/tmp/vm/gnome14.vmdk.xz

don't forget it uses a linux 2.4 kernel

The user is gnome, password gnomehistory (same for root)

Hello Juanjo! 


That was really really creepy! I remembered when I was back in school and I had that, with a Slackware 3.0 or something
Can you believe that I got emotional? Jesus!

Anyway, can I share that link? 

Really thank you for it!

Not yet, and not that link. If we implement this for the 15th
birthday, we will put it in GNOME's server.
Right now it is on a private location that is not meant for public use.

OK. My action plan is 1) write the memories.  I started a google document, but I haven't had enough time to do
the job yet. I 
copy the table from the wikipedia as a base to start write small summaries of 
each release ASAP

https://docs.google.com/document/d/101nyeoVAES2hKJB2sXas1D7Zh00bI2YfhI2Hd-D4sL4/edit

Since version 2.0, we have release notes in

http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/ 

I think small memories will be enough (maybe in a table format) and Diego can write special reports for the
releases he mentioned (1.4, 2.0, 2.14, 3.0 and 3.4) in a mini tour in the life of the gnome project

2) [tentative] to provide VMs for the releases Diego want to focus (1.4, 2.0, 2.14, 3.0 and 3.4) 
GNOME 1.4, Red Hat (done by Germán)
GNOME 2.0 ? 
GNOME 2.14 Ubuntu 6.04 
GNOME 3.0 OpenSUSE 11.4
GNOME 3.4  Fedora 17

> Like I

Ideas about the different GNOME generations taken from http://jeudisdulibre.be/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bxl-jeudis-gnome-3.pdf

GNOME 1 =  Much more user friendly than typical windows managers, but not still ready for everybody

GNOME 2 = Made to be usable by everybody. GNOME applications should follow the Human Interface Guidelines
(First document of this kind and scope in Free Software desktop space). Accessibility is integrated by
switching from a “bolted-on” to a “built-in” model

GNOME 3 = _Designed_ to be usable by everybody. A much more holistic approach to take desktop usability to
the next level. It incorporates support for modern form factors and internet services.

I think Bastien Nocera has a collection of old icons.

I would use Wikipedia's table as a starting point for a "timeline".
I would add special mentions to 5 or 4 releases (the ones I am
proposing to focus).

Considering time, I would only use Germán's VM and say something like
"look how far we have come in all these years (as GNOME and as
GNU/Linux)"

> I think Bastien Nocera has a collection of old icons.

Yeah. That would be cool. How would it work on the page however? A
small icon grid for fun? Andreas :)?

Yeah, we've only got unitil Wednesday! I think keeping it simple is going
to be key!

Re: happy birthday GNOME website!

Hi Karen,

considering that we have only about 48 hours, shall we delay the
celebration to "GNOME's month of anniversary" instead of the day? That
way we can get further input from Andreas and get the texts and
materials done.

The keynote video would be cool, but GUADEC team (Juanjo pinged, I
pinged Chema) has not responded.

Another way to frame this would be to link it to the anniversary but
not necessarily make it "because" of it.

Well, it seems to me that there's been substantial work done by Juanjo and
Andreas to get this going so it seems like we'll be able to get something
up by Wednesday, but they could be the first of multiple materials we put
up during the month if we want to!

That way we could add the history of GNOME talk and other bits of content
over the rest of the month...

I definitely defer to Andreas and Juanjo about what they want to do though.

Re: happy birthday GNOME website!

Just a quick note: My provider hasn't refresh your DNS

happybirthdaygnome.org/com it is on 199.xxx.xxx.xxx for me
I guess many more providers will have the same issue

I think the foundational message from Miguel is worth to

It would be nice if people could respond. E.g. share their stories /
memories. Explicitly maybe ask for certain type of responses.

Suggest disqus, though the non-free javascript might get a comment from
RMS.

To commit things to the website:
- Git repository happybirthdaygnome-web
  Same setup as gnome3.org
  I haven't tested the setup extensively

To see the website:
