Hi everybody,
with a little delay, here are my ideas for the first steps to to push
the BizDev project:
Reorganizing Governance
-----------------------
- Project leads
=> Centrally steering the project
=> Maintaining the website
=> Selecting and maintaining tools
=> Selecting and maintaining external presence
- Regional Representatives (like MarCons)
=> Working closely with local communities
=> Being in touch with regional businesses
=> Presence at events (OOo funding required)
Verified and categorized OOo Business directory
-----------------------------------------------
- Unknown entities have to show evidence of OOo related business
- Linking case studies with the business
View on business directory:
- By business
+ Individual Consultant/Freelancer
+ SMB
+ OEM
+ ISV
+ IHV
- By country
- By continent or by business region
+ (North/South) America
+ (East/Central/Western) Europe
+ EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Asia)
+ APAC (Asian-Pacific)
+ Africa
+ etc.
Using the web for BizDev
------------------------
Creating groups on LinkedIn etc. for example: "OpenOffice.org Business
Crucible" with a mission statement like (briefly): "For OOo businesses
to search customers - For customers to search OOo businesses".
Using Identi.ca, Twitter, etc. like: "OOo ecosystem gets extended with
solution XYZ now available [optional: in country]"
As we are not so many contributers yet, I wouldn't go for much more at
the moment.
Best regards,
Peter
