Hi all,
A few months ago, I pitched the idea of a media training session for
free software developers to Jennifer Cloer - I know this is an area that
we need to improve on. She was enthusiastic, and the date & content are
now set [1].
On Thursday April 7th, we will run a 4 hour session [2] aimed at giving
participants knowledge and tools to deal more effectively with the press.
It does conflict with part of the MeeGo workshops during the Summit, but
looking at the agenda, I'm hopeful that the Thursday afternoon sessions
overlap little enough with the content that community members interested
in press relations will be able to attend (at least until the lightning
talks & break-outs at the end of the day).
Among the topics which Jennifer will cover are:
* Building your story
* Communications “channels” and when & how to use them
* Media Training 101
* Role-Playing Media Interviews
* Social Media 101
* Q&A: Upcoming opportunities for your project
As a communications professional with lots of experience, Jennifer is
really well placed to give this training. I’m personally looking forward
to it, and would recommend any free software marketing people to attend.
Space is limited, but open to all Summit attendees. If you do plan to
attend, I’d appreciate you letting me know, so that we have an idea of
the numbers we can expect.
Thanks!
Dave.
