Hi everyone,
First of all, +1 to the thanks to outgoing council members
Reading through the *constructive* comments around voting and getting
people involved, it sounds like we need a marketing or communications
plan for Linux Australia. This is a random brain dump;
- Voting - Twitter button was great - do we need sharing, G+, AddThis
type functionality on the site? How does this sit with our open source
values?
- Young People - engagement and evangelism are needed here - building
links with Universities and TAFEs, showing what open source has to
offer. What about a 'all the free stuff you need for Uni' series that we
could do for students at the start of the academic year that rates *how*
free/open/libre the product or offering is?
- Website - has served as well (thanks Donna for the design). Where does
this really sit in our priorities? Each tasks or 'to do' item has an
associated effort, and cost (event if it's not a monetary cost, it's
someone's time to get it off the ground).
So there's a lot we could do, but we we will need to prioritise.
Proposing that we have a Wiki site for Comms and Marketing Plan.
What are your thoughts?
Kind regards,
Kathy

The new council, whoever that might be, makes sure that all members (existing as well as new) are sub'd to the announce list, so we *all* get to know important announcements, like, ohh, I dunno, say, elections, election results, etc... ya know, just little stuff like that <IMG SRC="cid:1360395883.4179.5.camel@tardis" ALIGN="middle" ALT=";)" BORDER="0"><BR>
