Hi all, We (M&P) would like to propose a collaboration with ComDev about encouraging new contributions to ASF projects.
Melissa Logan and the Constantia team have drafted a set of messaging and plan for the campaign with an objective of reaching 50 or more people to share their first contribution to an ASF project on social media, etc. Much of this activity is happening *anyway* but we'd like to recognize and encourage it. I'd like to do that with ComDev to: 1) Amplify the effort: If folks in ComDev would like to participate in mentoring, boosting the signal on social media, and/or helping with the marketing side of things that would be awesome. 2) Get input: As I said, people are already making their first contributions and we could solicit contributors to speak up - but I'd like to make sure the campaign is aligned with ComDev! 3) Avoid unwelcome surprises! This is an area with a lot of overlap and we didn't want to spring it on folks without notice. Even if nobody in ComDev participates, having awareness and assent is important. Our current messaging draft is in Google Docs -- happy to give access or share out in Hackmd.io or something else. I can just shoot text to the mailing list, of course, but that's often painful when giving feedback on prose. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier Vice President Marketing & Publicity j...@apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
