Hello Adam,
What sort of scale of OOo.org implementation would you be aiming at?
Whatever Justin tells me to ;-) I'm pretty new at this (it's my first day!), but I understand that SMBs are a primary target segment. I'll ask Justin. Thank you for asking good questions.
My feeling on this is we should aim to achieve a good size mix of OOo Case Studies across various industry groups, rather than thinking of size first.
Along the lines of:
+ Industry group: Government
Size: Local council/shire/etc Size: City council, or department of Size: State government, or department of Size: Country/national Government, or division (?) of
+ Industry group: Education
Size: A school Size: A group of schools Size: State wide adoption Size: National adoption
+ Industry group: Non-Profit organisation
Size: A small non-profit (up to ie. 10 people)
Size: A larger non-profit, perhaps specific to a city or state
Size: National non-profit organisation
Size: International non-profit organisation (i.e. Amnesty
International type of size, etc)
+ Industry group: Telecommunications
Size: Small, perhaps start-up, telecom company (ie. Skype, etc?) Size: City sized telcom company (do they exist?) Size: State specific telecom company Size: National carrier
These are just examples, and I'm pretty sure others spring to mind quickly (i.e. Financial Services, Retail, etc as I think mentioned by Andrew recently).
Probably a good idea to do a few "easier" one's first (places keen to assist and displaying patience for you to learn/develop the process with), then getting onto the potentially more challenging ones after that.
After getting a hang of the process and with visible end results (finished case studies online), it should be easier to encourage other companies/groups/etc to participate.
Adam, what kind of industry grouping would you put your social workers into?
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
