1-2-3 : Facts, ideas, actions ...
1. Facts = last week some of us did a small brainstorming about openSUSE marketing (animated by Izabel and Kosta, about 10 of us including Richard & Bruno)
2. Ideas = I'm sure that You have all creativ answers for the future, each of you have a point of vue
3. Actions = when I asked Izabel "who is the marketing team ? She answered me :-)) : YOU, US, ME
so I try an exploration : if you can take 4 minutes (ok perhaps 6) to send me your point of vue, it would be a starting point for a marketing "guideline" (Izabel said strategy, but it seems that strategy is not a right word for staying free to ...)
Suggestion : you can answer as you wish (on the list or just to me), I'll wait around 14 days to send a feed back ... or nothing if no answer lol)
Questions (simple & fast, not quick & dirty) :
1. did you go to OSC12-13-14 ? 13 NO 14 YES => Option : why 13 Bad time frame conflict with work 14 Has to be there as board member, and pre-reservation made enough in advance
2. When yes, where you volonteers, talkers ? did you ask for tsp ? Volunteer + talk
3. Will you go to osc15 ? If the plan I'm thinking of become a reality, yes I will be there :-) => when no, why
=> when perhaps : what makes your decision ? Looong time in advance : the schedule (timeframe when it will be) Loong time in advance : the program (or at least the big pieces)
4. Have you any ideas on how to increase ppl at OSC ? (hoe to be VISIBLE, how to be more attractive .. héhé)
Sure I have ideas (they are cheap, and sometimes easy to build) :-) The first question should be What as community do we want as conference. Will be it for ourselves + outsider related to our project or more widely open? What kind of talks/workshop and especially what ambiance we want to run it. (It look like that the formal way of conference didn't work anymore for us) So we can be creative for ourselves like getting more workshop, hackfest day etc in an openminded space, with lot of people connecting together which at the end of osc are proud about the "shit done" (TM Henne)
5. What kinda talks would interest you (did interest you), yes YOU ? (examples)
Schedule one or two "problem", we (globally) have with a nice action plan. Then run it together.
6. Have you any idea of WHO could be a great keynote speaker for next year (and it would be better for openSUSE TSP when living in Europe )
Whoever could talk about our relationship with our great/big sponsors SUSE/B1/AMD etc...
7. Would you have time to contribuate more ? Since cloning myself is still not allowed, I will have to fight a bit more to get some free spare cycles :-)
=> when yes, what do you need to do it ? Ok take me two lecture to get it, the yes is about more contributing right ? Then co-working with people that knows, is always a big plus, cause you learn quicker, get answer directly, and you feel support. So the first hard step are more easy.
8. Last & option : for you, what is the best way to increase openSUSE contributors ? I would say that if we find a way to cleanup a bit the mess of informations we have, and make it useful & pleasant to use, I guess it will be more easy to drive people to the jewels the openSUSE's project hide.
Then our moto "it's on the wiki" will help people discovering our project in place of making it a pain is A...
9. free and open others ideas ?
No for the moment, but more will come for sure ;-)
Thanks tc Françoise
