Hi everybody,
I have been sending this message once before a couple of weeks ago, but
there was little response, likely because everyone was busy with QA etc.
for the OOo 3.2.1 release, so here are my ideas again for the first
steps to to push the BizDev project:
Reorganizing Governance
-----------------------
- Project leads
=> Centrally steering the project
=> Maintaining the website
=> Selecting and maintaining tools
=> Selecting and maintaining external presence
- Regional Representatives (like MarCons)
=> Working closely with local communities
=> Being in touch with regional businesses
=> Presence at events (OOo funding required)
Verified and categorized OOo Business directory
-----------------------------------------------
- Unknown entities have to show evidence of OOo related business
- Linking case studies with the business
View on business directory:
- By business
+ Individual Consultant/Freelancer
+ SMB
+ OEM
+ ISV
+ IHV
- By country
- By continent or by business region
+ (North/South) America
+ (East/Central/Western) Europe
+ EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Asia)
+ APAC (Asian-Pacific)
+ Africa
+ etc.
Using the web for BizDev
------------------------
Creating groups on LinkedIn etc. for example: "OpenOffice.org Business
Crucible" with a mission statement like (briefly): "For OOo businesses
to search customers - For customers to search OOo businesses".
Using Identi.ca, Twitter, etc. like: "OOo ecosystem gets extended with
solution XYZ now available [optional: in country]"
As we are not so many contributers yet, I wouldn't go for too much more
at the moment.
Best regards,
Peter
