<br>
Before forwarding this call to the Dutch local malig list:<br>
it's not quite clear to me what this call-out is about, and what you do expect as input from local chapter representatives.<br>
Is it just for the stiemap discussion on April 12th. Or are you looking for local input for the entire project?<br>

Kind regards from the Lowlands,<br>

We did a call out for volunteers from each committee to have a<br>

activity was being planned. This call out for GEOFORALL and LOCAL<br>

- please help!<br>
<br>
I had the off-list question about how much the time commitment to<br>
expect. I am not sure, (since I have not done it). However the meeting<br></span>
notes [14] provide two key bits of information we can use to guess the<br>
time commitment:<br>
<br>
* Wednesday Meetings at 14:00 UTC [15] - we will be strict at<span class=""><br>
keeping these meetings to an hour (since volunteer time is precious).<br></span>
* The notes also provide a timeline [16] - armed with this you can<span class=""><br>
plan which meetings to attend - here is a sample for April:<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
April 12th: Presentation information architecture (sitemaps)<br>
<br>
April 19th: Presentation wireframes<br>
<br>
April 26th: Presentation initial branding (Concept brand identity<br>
and concept strategy)<br>
April 28th - milestone 2: Delivery of wireframes, information<br>
architecture, initial branding<br>
</blockquote>
<br></span>
_My guess at a time commitment_ - expect 30 mins a week to keep up<span class=""><br>
with email and reading, and 1 hour for each week where the meeting<br>
topic is a topic important to your committee.<br>
<br>
Based on the timeline it would be good to have geoforall and local<br>
chapter input for next weeks "sitemap" discussion.<br>
<br></span>
Final thing to consider this is one of those activities where OSGEO<br>
GETS OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN. Since the current website lasted us 10 years<span class=""><br>
we would like to do a good job.<br>

Just asking for a recommendation Maria - I know you are busy doing<br>
UN and Board.<br>
<br>
Is there someone in the geoforall community who could take part?<br>
Europe preferred, but as with everything passion is more important<br>
than timezone. Looks like meetings are each Wednesday, and we could<br>
ask Jeffrey which weeks input would be needed.<br>

Jody, I'm too committed with UN (mainly) and the Board (less but<br>
still some time) and I have no time for breathing. Let us see if<br>
Peter can do that. If not, we will search somebody else. I suppose<br>
that there can be people interested ;-)<br>

Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
After completing the EOI/RFP process last month, the marketing<br>
committee has finally kicked off our project [1] with the selected<br>
vendor Get Interactive [2].<br>
<br>
The minutes from our kickoff meeting yesterday can be found here<br>
[3],<br>
and more background information, including the documents that<br>
describe<br>
the scope of the project can be found here [1]<br>
<br>
In summary, this project will produce 3 sets of output; 1) An<br>
updated<br>
set of branding for our organization and its sub-brands which will<br>
be<br>
delivered as a standard online organizational brand style guide. 2)<br>
A<br>
new website theme and foundational content which will be heavily<br>
oriented toward on-boarding new users and guiding them toward an<br>
appropriate set of software for their needs. The new website will<br>
provide a home for sub-brands (OSGeo-live, GeoForAll, Local Chapters<br>
etc) that wish to use the overall theme and structure 3) A set of<br>
digital templates and collateral for print marketing materials that<br>
will be able to be customized and used by local chapters and<br>
GeoForAll<br>
labs or for general outreach. The gory details for each of these<br>
components can be found in the EOI document [4].<br>
<br>
We will be working with SAC on standing up the new site and<br>
distributing these materials and our goal is to have the new site<br>
live<br>
before FOSS4G in Boston and to be ready to onboard content<br>
contributors (YOU!!).<br>
<br>
We have a representative from SAC (Harrison Grundy) who has joined<br>
our<br>
project team and are specifically looking for someone to join from<br>
the<br>
GeoForAll initiative as well as someone to represent the interests<br>
of<br>
the local chapters projects. We really invite *anyone* from the<br>
community to help us manage this project, so if you are available to<br>
fill these roles, please join the marketing list and speak up!<br>
<br>
Our committee will be providing regular updates to this list<br>
approximately once a month and there will be ample opportunity for<br>
you<br>
to provide feedback as we move through the process. Please speak<br>
up!,<br>
but lets all work very hard to be constructive and look toward the<br>
larger goal of presenting OSGeo, our projects and initiatives<br>
professionally, clearly and most of all in a way that is easily<br>
accessible to the large number of GIS users out there who may not<br>
yet<br>
be familiar with open source and are looking to us as their Open<br>
Source Compass.<br>
<br>
Happy to answer any questions about the process or deliverables here<br>
or on the marketing list. We are extremely excited to finally be<br>
able<br>
to update our brand and external facing presence. We look forward to<br>
your input and participation!<br>
<br>
Jeffrey Johnson (on behalf of the Marketing Committee)<br>
