Agenda & Minutes
The wiki was borked when creating the minutes, so we captured them in an etherpad instead. The notes below are moved over from that.
- Hasn't been able to access these yet
- But LFN marketing budget isn't broken out by project
- Marketing activities are planned to be more combined across projects, typically
- Project-specific things are exceptions
- Developer summits are a possibility; these funds are allocated for the entire LFN & aren't a part of the marketing budget (TSC would drive this)
- Also OSN Days (no plans for these until second half of the year), KubeCon (see below)
- KubeCon LFN Mini-Summit
- https://lists.tungsten.io/g/marketing/message/71
- Yesterday there were no TF proposals
- Mentioned at TSC meeting; swill said they'd look into it at CloudOps
- Chaitanya pinged some Contrail folks
- Jill had a look at the proposals: Have at least one TF proposal
- Still some wiggle room; EOD Monday for proposals
- Monthly newsletter
- JL: Setting up a TF column/article in the LFN newsletter?
- CK: Not enough updates for a standalone
- Use LFN newsletter as launching point
- Darien's going to coordinate with Jill to make sure this happens for every LFN newsletter
- JL: Setting up a TF column/article in the LFN newsletter?
- Review 2019 Marketing goal brainstorming
- https://wiki.tungsten.io/display/TUN/2019+Marketing+WG+Goal+Brainstorming
- Need to focus this some more to better mesh with reality & our resources
- Definite DO THIS
- Blog posts
- Increase number of users
- VMB: Have no base metrics; so this will be difficult to gauge
- Later: phone home
- JL: Right. Revisit this after the phone home stuff is live
- VMB: Have no base metrics; so this will be difficult to gauge
- Social Media
- JL: What's the status of the TF twitter
- VMB: I tweet/RT sometimes
- JL: Now is an LFN specific account; LF will be handling that one
- VMB will continue as before; others will join in as they can
- Keep an eye open for "Open Contrail" in public things (talks, blog posts, etc)
- Suggest folks make changes as we see them
- Speaker Bureau
- JL: Depends how formal to make it
- RC: Informal group of ambassadors so far
- Can still help with this process
- Current list is accurate
- CloudOps, Juniper, and Yandex are very active
- Expand by selectively inviting new folks as they show up to the community
- VMB: Growing list a priority for 2019?
- RC: Probably don't need to grow it too much
- Whether & how we grow this group depends on what we want to use it for
- Meetups? Conferences? Numbers and locations will inform how many & where to look for folks
