[opensuse-marketing] Going outside our boxes
As you can read from Eitan's latest post http://monotonous.org/2010/04/15/gnome-accessibility-at-csun-more-thoughts/, openSUSE's presence had an unexpected major impact at the CSUN Accessibility Technology Conference. I bring this up because its important, as we begin to shape our marketing team goals for this year and thereafter, that we should think outside of the box. The CSUN conference was not a FOSS-related conference, and yet the presence of FOSS proved to be very important at this conference. Each and every one of us in FOSS is ultimately tasked with growing our community. And we hope we have new people coming into the FOSS community as a result of our presence at this conference. It is very important that we continue to attend and represent openSUSE at FOSS-related events. But, we should all begin to look beyond these types of events and build presence at other events that we traditionally have not gone to. When you think outside of the box, you'll be surprised at how much overlap exists with FOSS and the rest of the world and that our presence at non-FOSS related events is appropriate and worthy. Just giving you all something to think about.
