Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Recruiting OSGeo Santa Clause(s)

2016-03-18 Thread Marc VLOEMANS
All


If this year's marketing communication and budget is reflecting last
year's, then that's of course a discretionary Board decision.
To combine WebCom and MarkCom can in that case be a practical
solution, for now...

However, to combine them more permanently would downgrade the 'Art of
Marketing'
to just 'Promotion'. And would not emply the total toolbox at our
disposal to grow usage of
FOSS for GIS. Marketing can be so much more...

In order to really benefit from all marketing has to offer, we need to
have established at a minimum level:
- what are our offerings/products/services and their added end value?
- what is (are) our target segment audience(s), direct and indirect
for the above?
- how do we create interest for it/these (the promotional aspect) per
target group?
- how/via which appropriate channels do we distribute that
offering-product-service (incl OSGeo-Live)
- which community members/orgs/externals/partners/suppliers are to be involved
- what are available timelines, resources and deliverables?
And these questions-answers are to be addressed interdependently in a
single coherent approach.

If such approach is considered too far fetched...then just have a single Com
for the future, focusing on promotional aspects and media; 'PromCom'.

Not my preferred choice, though ;-)
