Greetings to the NGO and Ohio teams. Over the course of e-mails back and forth with Laura Czajkowski and Paul Tagliamonte, an interesting idea is starting to crystallize.
Under the blueprint action area for external advocacy by the NGO team, the idea being batted about is preparing a promotional program presenting real users who use Ubuntu. The promotional piece would be geared to an audience of non-specialist computer users at NGOs. As the Ohio team is looking to launch its own podcast in 2010, this provides members of the Ohio team a chance to practice in recording their own audio and putting together material for others to consume. The target time for the promotional bit is about 15-20 minutes. Some of the roles that potentially need to be undertaken in this effort include: * Community Council member(s) speaking about why they use Ubuntu and how it benefits others * MOTU who can speak to why they went with Ubuntu over other options * General users speaking about what they do practically with Ubuntu (i.e. Make presentations with OO.o or KOffice, crunch numbers in Gnumeric, etc.) * NGO team members talking about current work of packaging and the "continuous improvement process" being started that is called paper jams * People to copy edit * People with an ear for design to make the soundscape appealing * People to remind those pitching in that they are only human The timeline for this is to start in early January and have something ready for release on 14 February 2010. Some of the thoughts from the Shot of Jaq episode "The Clueful ISP Opportunity" are relevant to this. Discussion of this is probably going to be beneficial.
