I think the most valuable Marketing pipeline OSGeo currently
offers is the OSGeo-Live DVD, which includes an "OSGeo" icon, an
"OSGeo - Project in Incubation" icon, or no icon depending on the
level of incubation for each project.<br>
<br>
This only partially addresses your marketing concerns, but I don't
think we should be changing things.<br>

<div>I am considering mixing things up with the incubation
committee (on Monday's meeting). As such I would like to have a
quick sanity check with the Marketting committee …. as I am
sorry to say the idea involves asking for your help!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have had a number of really good project waiting
(sometimes years) for a volunteer to mentor them. I am thinking
of introducing a couple new stages to incubation, in order to
allow the OSGeo Foundation to foster these projects despite the
limited capabilities of the incubation committees.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What this means for Marketting?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It means that there would be more projects (yay!) who would
need help filling out the "Project Status" information section
of incubation. This project status information is in part
collected for the Marketting committee, so the website and
marketing materials can be filled in correctly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Q1: If we had more projects in the mix could we send them to
this email list for help filling in this "status" information
used to establishing their web presence at OSGeo? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Q2: Would like to promote these projects as part of the wider
OSGeo marketing effort?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will leave this committee to think about … and if you wish
I can attend the next Marketing meeting. Personally I would hold
off until a project has completed its <span style="font-family:
sans-serif; line-height: 19px; ">provenance</span> review (so
we are sure they are responsibility distributing code and won't
get us into trouble). Indeed if that was policy it would go a
long way towards motivating the completion of that step.</div>
