Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Recruiting OSGeo Santa Clause(s)

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Recruiting OSGeo Santa Clause(s)

Thx Cameron for your positive feed back! I guess Gert Jan and I - from the perspective of our involvement in marketing FOSS4G in Bonn - are running into all sorts of questions/expectations/thresholds/legacies/assumptions/undecided items and the like. Thus our own questions and remarks and at

Hi all, The website is a tool, just as OSGeo-Live is a tool. The 2 committees (WebCom and MarkCom) are closely related. In my opinion MarkCom set the goals and probably defines what tools are needed to reach these goals. WebCom makes sure one of these tools is up and running. That requires

Nicolas, Marc, You both have proposed some excellent ideas on what we should do within the marketing committee, and I think you are also offering to make it happen? Thank you. I suggest put your ideas into the existing marketing wiki, as linked from here:

Thanks Cameron & Nick, could you start outlining a "reboot" on the wiki and grab an agenda item for next months board meeting? We also have a hangout/workparty for board members (and officers?) in case you want some companionship shaping the wiki page. -- Jody Garnett On 15 March 2016 at 04:38,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Recruiting OSGeo Santa Clause(s)

The board has a number of initiatives in mind (I am helping with sponsor visibility right now, next up is the service providers page). I think we are looking for two things from the marketing committee: a) handle an operational marketing budget - for things like supporting local chapters and
