Asunto: Marketing Hackfest feedback
Para: "GNOME Marketing List"
Fecha: viernes, 23 de abril, 2010 05:21
Hi GuysI may be a little late with my post but I think we still have time to
act on a few things I feel maybe important.
If you guys want I can post them in wiki - but it would help if some decision
were made on the mail list.
Goals: Meet
with local government to create long term partnership
My comments:Can we dig a
little into their motivations before we even show up in Spain - happy
to take the lead if you can put me in touch with the right contact (or I
can dig)Do they want Gnome - where, how and why
Meet with local users
Should we use this opportunity
to develop these users (not developers) into our cheerleadersAnd
then this pilot can be scaled to other hackfests & conferences
I feel this could enhance your vision of getting users involved (from
donations to any other engagement)How - I have no clue?Is this even our goal or
am I on a different tangent?
Zaragoza is very active in the promotion of Free Software.
Success:
Established
relationships with local government
Can we define it
further - have specific goals e.g. get Zaragoza govt to install Ubuntu
with Gnome on 1000 PCs by end of 2010 (I am just saying)Well, the Zaragoza
city has its own distribution called AZLinux (It is an customized
opensuse-based distro). And yes, they use GNOME on the desktop. They are using
this distribution for all their employees of the town administration. They have
their own migration roadmap and AFAIK it is very advanced.

I think we can made contacts for making a _good_ case of study of GNOME.

give away CDs in schools
In Spain, local government is not responsible of Education, they only do some
maintenance of the school-buildings. Education is ruled by regional government;
in this case, Aragon government. AFAIK, Aragon government is no Free Software
friendly.
