So I've been accepted to GSoC and will spend my summer - starting on Monday - making Sugar on a Stick even more awesome (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2010/Improved_Sugar_on_a_Stick).
First business: as SoaS v.3.0 Mirabelle nears its release date (Tuesday, May 25), it's time to gear up for publicity for the release - this is not necessarily a one-time blast thing, but a consistent message of some sort (mostly geared towards recruitment) that will go out throughout the month of June (and possibly afterwards as well). Here's a short outline of what I'm thinking about writing up for the announcement - let me know if you can think of anything that is missing. * overview of SoaS ** as a project (goals) ** as a product (technical) * changes since the last release ** activity selection ** focus on sustainability *** Fedora Spin ** focus on deployability * next steps ** targets for v.4.0 *** activity selection criteria *** deployment feedback loop ** how to get involved And here's the list of people that I'm planning on sending it to when it's done. I'd also like to brief the folks at Ars Technica and Wired, as well as the Spiegel, in advance and ask whether they would be up for an interview. xconomy - wade roush arstechnica - ryan paul desktoplinux - eric brown technology review - david talbot wired - chuck lawton spiegel online - matthias kremp linux magazin - anika kehrer linux.com - joe brockmeier --Sebastian _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list Marketing@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/marketing
