Re: [IAEP] Marketing Opportunity @ SCALE 17x (DotOrg Booth)

G'day Caryl,

Answering your specific questions;

> What do we have to "market" and who is our target audience?

Sugar, Sugarizer, and Music Blocks.

Teachers of elementary school age students.

> Do we have any compelling stories to tell... Mexico? Haiti?
> Pakistan? Or???

I don't, personally.  I'm never amazed at what children can do, given
half a chance.  More amazing for me is what children can't do because
they've been told they can't.

> Will anyone else besides the folks in SoCal be here to help "man"
> the booth for 3-Days(3/8-3/10)?

Not I, too far.

> Do we have anything special to offer as "swag"?

No.  You might make some business cards with the Sugar Labs logo, your
name as a member, and a QR code for the web site.  One is attached, or
use a QR code generator online and add the Sugar Labs logo to the
centre.

> What new software can we show?

Music Blocks and Sugarizer are newer than before.

> Running on what new hardware?

Any hardware with a modern web browser.

An OLPC NL3 is suitable.

Don't use an OLPC XO to show Music Blocks or Sugarizer; isn't the
target and doesn't work.

> Can we offer some hands-on experiences for people there?

You may.  Especially also provide a return path for feedback.

None of the above needs the board or marketing team to assent or
remove any blockages; use your initiative.

We could, under advisement of the Marketing team, allocate a budget for
making some stickers to hand out. There is quite a collection of designs
generated during GCI.

G'day Caryl,

Thanks.  Looks like a good opportunity.

Apart from answers to your questions, which are more to do with
software and hardware than the project, is there anything you think
the board should be asked to decide?  At the moment I don't think the
board is needing to decide anything, as our members can direct
themselves, but welcome your thoughts.

[IAEP] Marketing Opportunity @ SCALE 17x (DotOrg Booth)

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Folks,

Once again we have been offered a FREE booth at one of the country's top open 
source conferences. I have to let Bala know by the 19th if we would like to 
take advantage of this opportunity. So here are the questions we must consider 
before committing ourselves to this ...

What do we have to "market" and who is our target audience?
Do we have any compelling stories to tell... Mexico? Haiti? Pakistan? Or???
Will anyone else besides the folks in SoCal be here to help "man" the booth for 
3-Days(3/8-3/10)?
Do we have anything special to offer as "swag"?
What new software can we show? Running on what new hardware?
Can we offer some hands-on experiences for people there?

Please discuss! We did not participate in SCaLE in 2018 but did every year from 
2008-2017.

My email service is acting up and I have to send this out in "batches" as 
entering some of your names erases everything!!! Put your replies on the IAEP 
list so everyone can see them.

Thanks,
Caryl Bigenho

Hi there,

As we look to filling the expo floor, your organization has been invited back 
to SCALE, and we are offering you a free booth in recognition of your group's 
excellent open source contributions.

SCALE 17x will be held between March 7 and March 10, 2019, and the expo floor 
will tentatively be from 1400 on March 8, till 1200 on March 10.

Please let me know within the next 10 days if I should hold the booth for you.

Thanks.

Bala.
