Hi Florian, all cc:Louis Thank you for your last marketing teleconference log. I felt It's difficult to short notice for every attendee by my poor English pronunciation. :)
JA Project just translated the internship announcement for Japanese now. I'll make some questions and follow up for marketing this internship program in Japan. (1) Questions for JA announcement about Bounties, When, Where, How many, How much? It was in the announcement as bellows. http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&msgNo=418 > Bounties up to 3.500 EUR per enhancement and bug fix (snip) > It runs from May 31st to October 31st and accepted students are required > to work full-time for a period of about three months on their project. >Space is limited, so students are encouraged to apply for the programme now! So ... What is the condition of Bounties up to 3.500 EUR? What does this mean " per enhancement and bug fix " in the announcement. The students need make a good enhancement *AND* also a good bug fix? or The students need make only one good result even at least? When will you start the each project? It may be the limit time at Aug 1st to start. Where will the students stay for full-time work? At Hamburg with the mentor, or At the home country by online? How many members will you hope to encourage this program? 5, 10, or more? How much cost will the students to keep money to work full-time? Does they need the cost to stay in Hamburg or Not? (2)Confirmation about the stand point of this internship I understand the stand point of this internship as bellows. Is it right or not? a) The background is based on the Community Innovation Program on 2007. http://development.openoffice.org/community_innovation_program.html http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Community_Innovation_Program/proposals b) Still there are many OpenOffice.org Project Improvement Themes as CC wiki and To-Dos wiki. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Community_Council/Project_Improvements http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/To-Dos Then I think CC planned as Education Theme like a Community Marketing. (from CC wiki:) > .. (education project for developers) C) The history was ... Bug Bounty Program was held on 2008 and it was made succeeded. The result was 6 person and 11 Issues. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/BugBountyProgram http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/BugBountyProgram/Issues But on 2009 it was no Program like this. (from BugBountyProgram wiki:) > For the 2009 programm, go to OpenOffice.org_Internship. Then Cor had made the wiki of this time Program for marketing and kicked off. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Marketing/OOoInternship#Marketing (3) Following up of my teleconference comment I had just made one comment about how to promote this internship program for personal and college / company managers. (from OOoInternship#Marketing wiki:) > send notices to computer science departments at universities In such project, I think that it is important to be preferable the skill set in finding employment in the future. So I think that it is important to find the agreement about that kind of skill set with the participating student between the college or company that send it off. This is one reference of OSS skill set for the college or company that studied in Japan and CJK OSS forum. I think there are each OSS skill set like this in each country or EU.
