[Marketing] Question on Questions and a Question

One question I have had already is how are we going to respond to
questions from potential vendors. Should they send them to
secretary@osgeo.org to be forwarded to us?

The question at hand was whether we would consider splitting up the
contract so that a firm was only proposing for one or two parts and we
would have another vendor for the other component(s). I think this
could be ok, but would require more project management on our side.
Should we put language to this effect in the letter to discuss?

Really hoping we can get this out today, the clock is ticking :slight_smile:

I assume so; you may wish to volunteer act as point for the EOI process. If
I remember our meeting notes Marc and I are digging into policy/strategy
document.

I see.

The update to splitting out content migration is it could dovetail into an
going editing role in 2018.

Can we send it, and answer questions as they come in. You can add Q&A to
the http://www.osgeo.org/marketing/rebranding.html page.

Im happy to be the POC, but I do NOT want people emailing me directly
with these questions and prefer to answer them formally. Perhaps we
ask the secretary to prepare any questions and send them to us and we
can respond as a group formally and with a public record (even if I am
taking the lead)

Marc, I'd prefer you send this to discuss as the chair of our committee.

If we decide to answer questions publicly (which I think we should), then I also suggest that we encourage vendors to send questions to this public marketing email list.

Re question about breaking project up, I'd suggest we aim to minimise OSGeo volunteer workload and risk by encouraging bidders to team up under one prime rather than put in multiple bids for multiple components.

Adding a wiki with questions and official responses is probably a good idea too.

+1 on all these. It may be a bit much to ask folks to subscribe to our
list, does it allow through public posts, or could we moderate those
through and respond cc'ng the original person but keeping the response
on the list? Wiki is a great idea too.

not worth it, lets see what kind of questions/responses we get.

moderate through I assume?)

Did someone get my test mail from my other address? I just want to
make sure questions sent to this list are not gone into the ether.
Then its fine if they can just send questions to marketing@osgeo.org
and we can answer here and reply to them in cc and collect them all on
the wiki.

Jeff,

Re sharing questions with the list, we don’t need to require people to subscribe to the list, we just need to be mindful that we don’t share private emails publicly. Probably the easiest way to achieve this is to ask a person’s permission before responding publicly.
