[Marketing] Marketing meeting

Hi, holidays are on, peopel are off. Can we still muster enough interest to have a Marketing meeting tomorrow?

I will be off throughout August so this or next week is the last chance that I will chair a meeting, is anybody else interested in taking this on. Beware, you will probably do a lot better and stick with the job. :slight_smile:

Cameron,
I wrote a lengthy mail to your questions but it got lost in an ISP confusion on our end. But I added some more from the document to the Wiki where you were asking for an [Image:] - it was just a bulleted table.

Funding for the communication plan has been taken from last years Marketing budget - which is when this whole thing started and we managed to drag our feet for almost half year - but now we finally have something.

Best regards, Arnulf

I'm interested in marketing on two levels:
1. I'm on the FOSS4G 2009 committee and will need a marketing plan.

2. LISAsoft derives a large part of our business from supporting Geospatial Standards and the OSGeo stack. So our marketing has a lot of synergies with OSGeo and I can put a strong case to our management that it beneficial to work with OSGeo on Marketing.

So I'd like to get involved, but we don't have an immediate urgency. I'm happy to wait till people are back from holidays.

I'd also like to change the timeslot (which is midnight for me. 3+ hours earlier or 6+ hours after would be much easier).

I can meet later, but not earlier. If you are interested in joining then I think it would be wise to restart our timezone rotation - not necessarily tomorrow - every other meeting switching the timezone... unless someone somewhere actually likes meeting at midnight or 6am all the time :slight_smile:

Then it's fine and understood that you will likely miss two or three out of ten meetings. It would be refreshing to have a few more of you joining. Daniele in Japan and you guys down under make accommodating that general timezone helpful for a few folks.

Here's the meeting planner with our main timezones. I'm sure I missed someone though..

So, for tomorrow, it's too late to probably change the time this week, but for sure next week might be doable. I'll come online tomorrow and see if we're on :slight_smile: I am hoping to take holidays next week though.
