Of course, I think this is a starting point for a marketing plan: to
define goals clearly so the achievement of them would lead to
"success".
What i've found related with gnome-marketing goals are spread between
the key activities[1] and the target markets[2], being the key
activities something like goals and the target markets as the "place"
to apply the activities, result of the segmentation study[3],  in the
quest for the success,

The point is that I started with some big and consolidated communities
as GNOME, Ubuntu and OKFN and I found nothing.

Wow! it would be amazing. I'm not a real expert in market research but
i've some ideas about it and about digital strategy.
Do you really think it worths the effort?
