Marketing Tasks

[Paul Cutler <pcutler gnome org>]

Hi Marketing Team,

I don't know if anyone has had an opportunity lately to review the list of Tasks on the Marketing page on live.gnome.org at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Tasks.  There are a lot of great ideas, and it's organized by active tasks, non-active and then by one-time tasks and ongoing tasks.

It can be a bit overwhelming browsing through everything we want to do!

I don't know about you, but I organize stuff a little differently, and I'm a little more goal oriented, so I re-organized some of the tasks and tried to assign due dates.  You can review at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Tasks/MarketingTasks2009

I've also continued to work on GNOME 3.0 Marketing.  A couple days ago I posted a link to some potential campaign ideas, and that ties to marketing calendar I've started in OpenOffice.org.  It includes potential marketing vehicles and outlines development time for the various vehicles and launch dates.  The download link is posted on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeThreeBrainstorming

Help I need from the marketing team:

* Review the marketing campaign ideas and give feedback (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeThreeBrainstorming)
* Review the marketing calendar and give feedback (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeThreeBrainstorming) (What is missing?  Do we have enough time built in for planning and developing these activities?  Are they the right activities, and what you recommend?)
* Review the current task list (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Tasks)  (Is it up to date?  If your name is on something, are you still working on it?  What else should we be thinking about?)
* Review the 2009 tasks (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/Tasks/MarketingTasks2009) (Are they prioritized correctly, or should some tasks move months?  What else would you want to add?  Change?)

They're wiki pages, so please feel free to edit, or give feedback via email.

Thanks!

Paul
