Guys, I suggest that we start reaching out to various teams producing application servers and databases and help them create Apache Stratos cartridges and promote them.
For that, we need to have a good list of things that we provide to these partner teams - so partners understand what they get. My guess is that they would mostly benefit from technical help creating the cartridges and from co-marketing their efforts. Technical is pretty straight-forward: they can use documentation [1]<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/STRATOS/4.0.0+Creating+a+Cartridge>and our help, right? >From co-marketing perspective, can we add a section on the website with cartridge catalog and also have the latest cartridges and news about them promoted on the front page of Apache Stratos? Obviously we can promote with all the social media channels that we have. What else do we have in terms of promoting cartridges? There is no Stratos blog or Stratos newsletter, are there? Are there plans to start these? We can invite them to public hangouts, right? And they can contribute session submissions to ApacheCon... Anything else they will get from participating? I think once we finalize the list of gives, we can create the text we can start sending out, and then have a list of the teams we reach out to - between us all here we will probably always have someone who knows someone in these potential partner teams.
