Hi all,
In the interest of communicating sooner rather than later, I wanted to
write a new thread to say that Flavio Percoco and I are going to work
on a TC communications plan as co-chairs of a TC communications
working group.
I think we can find a happy medium amongst meeting minutes, gerrit
reviews, and irregular blog entries by applying some comms planning,
so that Flavio and I can dive in.
Please answer these questions on the list if you're interested in
shaping the communications plan:
Audience considerations:
Is the primary audience current OpenStack contributors or those in
consumer roles?
I would think Consumer Roles, most contributors are already in the know
and on the mailing lists and meetings.
What percentage of the audience are fairly new contributors? Fairly
new to OpenStack itself?
Is the audience more likely to be an "outsider looking in" to
OpenStack governance?
I would think so. The 'insider' already knows where and how to find the
information.
Is the audience wanting to click links to learn more, or do they just
want the summary?
Both would be great. There will be those who only want a summary, but
sometimes would also like a bit more detail on a specific subject
Does the audience always want an action to take, or is simply getting
information their goal?
I would leave that up to the audience. But if this is a communication
channel - we should decide if it should be one-way or both ways.
Channel considerations:
Is this audience with their goals more likely to use blogs, RSS, and
Twitter or subscribe to mailing lists?
If we are talking about the non-contributor - a definite no to mailing
and a huge yes to the first part of the list.
Depending on the channels chosen, is cross-posting to multiple
channels a huge error, or are we leaning towards a wide net rather
than laser targeting?
Cross posting should be fine since it will mostly be a link pointing to
the main source of content - which will be a blog post of some sorts.
Is there another channel we haven't considered that is widely consumed?
FaceBook? But I personally don't go near it.
Does the cadence have to be weekly, even if "not much happened with
the TC" is the activity rate for the week?
I do no think it has to be weekly, because perhaps that would become
quite boring - if nothing really happened. I would say it should
according to the need - but a minimum of once a month (even if there was
nothing exciting).
Thanks all for participating and giving input.
Anne and Flavio
