Dear Marketing Masterminds,
In a few months we have a release. That means there is work to do.
I am preparing a short feature list at http://manugupt1.ietherpad.com/4
Take this bug for example: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659659
Yes, we need to come up with a list of top features for the 11.4 release. This ain't an easy task, taking up a serious amount of time and discussion. Once it is done, a draft announcement can be made as well as other things.
To do this, Bryen and me propose to have a meeting in the beginning of Februari (either shortly before, during or just after FOSDEM).
A real life meeting, people. A marketing sprint. Now don't start thinking "but I have a job" or "but I live in India" or "but I'm yellow". Think "FOSDEM is 5 and 6 feb, if the meeting is 2-4 feb, I could take a few days off at work and come there". Or "we should do it the weekend before FOSDEM, that would work for me".
Main Goal: fix bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659659 and write initial announcement for 11.4; secondairy goals: drink beer, have fun, get to know each other, work on other things and make grand plans.
Once we have an idea of the plan we will ask that elusive openSUSE community manager-dude for a budget so we can pay for (part of?!?) the hotel and travel costs for this sprint.
So anyone who wants to make a contribution to this (that means mostly writing!), say so!
Bryen has set up a wiki page here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:11.4_Marketing_Hackfest
Cheers, Jos
