We should use these steps to fasten also our Qt 5 marketing deliveries. See http://wiki.qt-project.org/Marketing/Qt_5_release - The feature freeze offers the bulk of novelties that Qt 5 contains. - By the alpha release we should have defined the core story and top items to push. Also the deliveries we expect beyond code. - By the beta release we should have the rough content in place, good enough to be useful to the beta release itself. Core text and images / diagrams should be there. - Between beta and final we should focus on the production of more complex deliveries e.g. Qt 5 intro video. If we have planned any kind of launch activities then that will be the time of last minute rush. :) We will need the help of the maintainers extracting the best juice out of Qt 5. I hope Lars has time to follow and review, just as if this would be a component more of the release. Some months back I asked who would coordinate the Qt release marketing this time, only to find eyes looking back at me. :O Until now Qt releases marketing has been pushed by a team inside Trolltech / Nokia. I hope we will move to an open and distributed effort, just like the rest of the Qt Project. Anybody interested in joining please step forward. -- Quim _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
