hi jon,
after having read
http://libregraphicsworld.org/articles.php?article_id=28
and
http://www.chromecode.com/2011/02/why-gimp-28-is-not-released-yet.html
i wonder if at the next LGM we should not propose a pannel / workshop where
we can discuss / present strategies for attracting new developers in the
libre graphics.
what do you think about it?
Good initiative. However, I think that "attracting new devs" is a bit
to narrow an approach. A project can have new people stop by every
week and still not be productive. I'm thinking something along the
lines of "How to keep and make productive libre graphics projects?".
Having a steady inflow of new developers is part of that, but just a
means to an end in my book.
yep, "getting new developers involved" may be a better title...
just to be clear: it's not mostly about a marketing strategy, but rather
about structures and processes that can help new developers getting
involved.
one point is indeed getting (potential) developers to feel attracted by
our projects (attracting them...) but, i agree with jon that the harder
part is about getting their contribution in the projects!
ciao
a.l.e
