Re: GNOME Marketing Strategy (Was Audiences)

[Paul Cutler <pcutler foresightlinux org>]

I'd like to tackle re-doing the Marketing pages on lgo, but it intimidates me!  :)

Stormy and I have submitted a BoF for for GUADEC - I feel pretty confident we can have a skeleton plan in place over the next 60 days that we can share out then.  I'm especially excited about the level of communication on the list.

Unfortunately you need at least some parts of a marketing plan in
place to do an effective launch, and (frankly) we really don't have
those things laid out in any sort of structured way. I mean, one could
fake it (and we have in the past) but we've got the time - we might as
well give it another shot this time around ;)
