This is just the beginning of the reboot of Plone's Marketing/Communications effort. We will be starting out at 9 am Eastern US time on Saturday May 29th (tomorrow) and working into the afternoon.
The goal of this sprint is to work on the planning and implementation of marketing, communication and brand activities for Plone. The sprint will help hone our marketing message and also work on concrete ways that the Foundation and Marketing Team can help businesses promote themselves with Plone. This won't just be a thinking session - we'll be setting some specific goals for things that we can come out of this sprint with which can be useful to the organization right away. We have a list of tasks that will be shared with attendees. Grab what interests you and contribute. Where marketing goes from here is largely up to you. Feel free to drop a message to market...@plone.org if you have ideas or topics you would like to see pursued. (Note that this is not the marketing mailing list.) If you are interested in participating in the sprint, or in marketing in general, please send an email to market...@plone.org. Those who do will get access to a private document store containing - among other things - the list of sprint tasks.
