Formalizing the marketing team

["Quim Gil" <qgil gnome org>]

The board is in the process of formalizing some groups contributing to
th goals of the GNOM Foundation as defined committees. Examples of
well defined commitees are the Release Team and the GUADEC
organization.

There is a Marketing Team defined as committee and it's time to define
it. This is an invitation for a brainstorming.

- We need at least a mission. Our nearest reference currently is
"Goals" at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing :

# Increase awareness of GNOME
# Increase the user base of GNOME
# Ease user contributions at GNOME

Let's review this.

- We also need to decide if there is a defined membership of this
team/committee. See http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/MarketingTeam
. We would have also the members of marketing-private, the almost
inactive list were press releases used to be worked out.

I think that it is good to have a well defined list of reliable member
with clear responsibilities and active participation in a decision
process. We have seen many discussions in this list ending up in
almost nothing, and IMHO one of the causes of this problem has been
the lack of a clear decision process.
