Sorry I couldn't attend the meeting, because the time 16:00 UTC is for me 25:00 JST (+9:00) and I had to get up early next morning for my work.
I've just read the log of the meeting and have some thoughts about the topics discussed in the meeting.
Since Bryen said at the meeting, "Let's continue discussions on these topics via email. I'll write a new thread for each of the topics today", I'd post my thoughts to new threads, however, there is something I want to tell you, marketing team mates, here.
There are a lot of "should" and "have to" in our project. Everyone know there are so many things to be done and to be improved all over the project/community. But the biggest problem is always "who can/will do?"
No the biggest problem is to make more as we have power to make. Always new tools, new tasks but no one looks after that what we have. For me is better to have 1 marketing instrument that working with 100% as 10 different working only with 5% I give a shit about what ubuntu doing or others do. I look more what can openSUSE do. I make no new plans without an overview of the ressources. Thats what I asked or AJ asked on the beginning. And Bryen stepped over it
If everyone say "I know we should, but unfortunately I don't have enough time to do that. Can anyone do?", nothing won't go forward.
You wondering? Persons are a ressources. U can make always plans without the knowledge u have enough human power. But dont wondering why noone take the tasks
If I understand correctly, marketing team aim to promote openSUSE and attract users, developers and contributers to openSUSE. But actually, what motivates the members of marketing team? For me, as I'm just a volunteer and not paid at all, the answer is clear: It's fun to collaborate with others and realize that I can do good for others.
The most important "should" is, IMO, "Participating and contributing openSUSE project/community SHOULD be interesting, attractive and fun!"
I know some responsibilities are needed for our activities and contributions, however, responsibilities without fun easily make people tired. Although listing the things to be done is important, but I hope everyone in this list will keep in mind, how we can make our work more interesting and fun.
So, I wish our further discussions will not end with "OK, what we should do is now clear. Will anyone volunteer for this task? - <<silence>>
And btw maybe one of the problems is we have not really an operational "marketing team"
...", but continue like "... So, let's put ideas out, how we can make the work more interesting and attractive so that as many persons as possible will participate."
... I wish I haven't bore you with a long mail. ;-)
