Just FYI some notes on the Marketing BoF:

Discussed: - supporting ambassadors - quality ambassador work? - marketing materials - lack of clear and consistent branding (special branding meeting)

goals for next year - focus on ambassadors - enabling them - what to do - give them materials - get basics up and running - announcements - website texts - internationalization - writing for magazines etc

I would also like to mention Henne's talk about the huge variety of websites we have which are meant for communication: Lizzards, news, planet, etc etc etc

We discussed bringing all that back to Planet + News, where news.o.o would essentially be cherry-picked posts from planet. I think it's a good idea... Altough it has some issues.

The notes are VERY incomplete as I wrote some things down I wanted to discuss before the BoF and did not write much DURING the BoF :D

Please, Bryen, AJ, Michl, Yaloki, whoever made notes - send them!

We should add the main points what came out of the Artwork session * all agreed in the marketing session, that the situation with the different used styles for marketing materials isnt good most of time in art session, we tried to declare all that artwork guidelines be interpreted from artist and we can break them without breaking. On the end came out, that we have immediately to begin to develop an CI (means a face for all things) But Nuno made clear that this is a <underline>process</underline> that takes time. For the art side would be responsible for the development of that rlihm, javier_ and me But we need input from marketing team how it should look like and the design have to represent on the end our strategy and address our target group. br gnokii -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

My incomplete notes:

Focus today on what are priorities for coming year.

Looking back: * Seen reenergizing the last three months * There's far more community outside that were not connnected with  others. Let's connect them with each other.

Comments: * We're still in the initial phase of starting the team. * Allow us to fail * Don't set too high objectives, instead build up a team that works  as team, a sustainable team. * More important building the team instead of achieving all goals. * Impressed by what are the ambassadors are doing. * There is no consistent corporate branding for openSUSE - problem for  artwork. We need a proper branding and a successfull art work team  to support the marketing team. * Ambassadors need a lot of help with support materials. Already doing  a lot of things but we should encourage them to document what they  are doing and help them. * Exchange of reports by ambassadors is a good way to learn from each  other. Reports should also go out to the openSUSE weekly news and  planet openSUSE. * Do we really need both ambassador and marketing mailing lists? Or  should we better document how each should be used? * Long term we want to have some ambassador leader or an ambassador  council to support the ambassador program better. We want to mentor  and build up some folks for the future. * Fedora has more requirements for ambassadors what they have to  do. Suggestion is to add some more requirements here as well in the  long term but not yet. For now, the questionaire that AJ sends out  asks for plans for the next months. * We would love to have training for ambassadors. * We want to clean up the ambassador list of people that are really  inactive. A measure for now is a user page in the wiki. AI for aj to  email everybody without a user page and remove them later. * We really want to have ambassadors connected with each other and the  marketing team. * Idea to have proxies for each country to only send e.g. DVDs to one  person and to connect people in each country with each other.  They  can also help translating requests that come in right now. * Jos wants to visit ambassador teams in their countries and support  them. * We have the slogan "openSUSE - Linux for open minds". We should  revisit the slogan after the strategy has finished. * We need to have good writers and therefore coach them to write good  articles. Jos is coaching actively. Writing the initial version is  the hardest part, editing text is less demanding.  Goal of coaching  is that editing text is not needed ;) * We want to ask members from other teams for a brain dump to start  writing articles to help the marketing team.
