I'm sorry Jonas, I had assumed the success of our launch (3700 SoaS downloads yesterday) would be of interest to all Sugar Labs contributors, in particular those who worked so hard on it. Does anyone else feel it's too much information? I would be worried though if any contributors weren't interested in coverage, especially in their countries.
Although most coverage has been in the online tech press, we are reaching out to educational publications as well; it's only a matter of time until we get coverage from them as well, as news of our pilot projects comes onine. You may be aware that we are battling a perception of developers working too isolated from the classroom. Some critics have cited our absence of both a feedback loop and consolidated data about large-scale Sugar use. These are valid concerns that merit our attention. In my opinion, communicating the benefits of Sugar as a Facilitator is something any of us could be doing. Marten Vijn spoke passionately about direct action recently and he is absolutely right that each of us should be spreading news of Sugar. Negative press means that activity is more difficult; positive press means it's easier. So I feel it is relevant to know if we are being covered fairly, if our message is getting out, or if we are being heavily criticized in areas we need improvement, or criticized unfairly based on false perceptions. thanks Sean On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 10:57 AM, Jonas Smedegaard<[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: RIPEMD160 > > STOOOOP cross-posting marketing info, please! > > Great info, but not educational nor geeky, so irrelevant for those lists > IMHO. > > > Kind regards, > > - Jonas > > - -- > * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt > * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ > > [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEAREDAAYFAkpDO/8ACgkQn7DbMsAkQLgWHQCfbCLJVjSJG8wWBBi9CCXUuYhm > zBsAn1oWfLhf5AH6vVCP5ymdaiFVmKkM > =SN5a > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
