Thanks so much, Lewis. Hello Incubating Usergrid PMC! At this stage, as you are undergoing incubation, there are no formal ASF news disseminations (press releases, Foundation blog, @TheASF Twitter feed etc.) until you are ready to graduate as a TLP. Then we can announce your graduation, along with other major project milestones.
As such, your best course of action is to set up a blogging account for Usergrid, akin to https://blogs.apache.org/drill/ --you'll need to request login credentials from Infra. There's also the [email protected] mailing list. Be sure to a) use plain text, b) use the word [ANNOUNCE] or [ANN] in the subject line, and c) include a link for more information/downloading/*. Also do include the word "(Incubating)" after the first mention of Apache Usergrid, to read "Apache Usergrid (Incubating)". Also, we recommend that you establish a Twitter account for Apache Usergrid so you can also share the news there, as many members of the technical press/analyst community keep an ear to the ground there. When you're about a month away from graduation, please let me know (via [email protected] is great) so we can work on the formal announcement. I hope this helps! Feel free to ping me if you need assistance. Warm regards, Sally ________________________________ From: Lewis John Mcgibbney <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; Sally Khudairi <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, 14 September 2014, 0:50 Subject: Apache Blog Post for Usergrid 1.0 Hi Sally, CC dev@usergrid We just released Usergrid 1.0. I would very much like to make an Apache announcement and you are the go-to gal for this. Dev@usergrid, Sally is a beacon of light with regards to press and community building. It would be another string in our bow if we could work with her to promote Apache Usergrid to the masses via official Apache channels. Sally, if you would be so kind to state what you need I will get to work on this and would really like to pull in company representatives who are committees, etc to state why they endorse and contribute towards Usergrid development. Have a great weekend folks Lewis -- Lewis
