Desired marketing material

• posters
• pamphlets

• GnomeLiveMedia

• presentations for various audiences

• PressKit (make reviewing Gnome easier) [What would you like to see in the press kit?]

• Business card templates
• Events, such as our 6-monthly releases, conferences, and endorsements/sponsorships, are likely to get us press attention, so we should have supporting material (press release templates, release notes, accompanying pre-packaged articles for reviews).

• ReleaseNotes

• FAQ - how to answer commonly asked questions
• talking points - what to say to the random person that walks up to the booth
