All,
This is the exact type of thing I was thinking about for project
promotions that OSGEO could be instrumental in. I also had a thought
related to this, this afternoon, related to this, I was thinking
about a project classification of "OSGEO Registered" for use by any
project that applies in any way shape or form, then there is a list
of project to keep track of, then you could put as many intermediate
steps or tiers in place over time to progress projects against.
I would be interested in (trying) to help with something like this,
but I wouldn't want to examine the same types of projects that I'm
trying to promote, I would need to do other different types of
projects. You might start things out by setting up a few
questionnaires that interviewers could start from for the different
types of projects as templates, and then let the interviewers go
from there, should keep things similar in nature between projects but
also allow for the interviewers to dig deeper if needed.

Folks,
I was thinking about promoting new projects and one thing that came to
mind that might be helpful is doing a "Project Spotlight" on new
projects.
We could do it in a form somewhat similar to the Spotlights we used
to do
for people (but have lapsed, leaving Tom on the front page
forever!). These
spotlights would be on the OSGeo front page briefly, could be sent
out to
discuss (and perhaps announce), and could likely be included in the
OSGeo
Journal.
The spotlights could be done in a question/answer interview style that
would make it easy for folks to get a sense of what the project is
about,
it's status, and where it might fit in with other projects. The
interviewer/editor could help ensure an appropriate level of detail
and
some consistency between spotlights.
*But* to make this work, we would need one or more "project spotlight"
interviewer/editors. Does anyone think this would be a useful
idea, and/or
be interested in helping make it work?
Best regards,
--
