[Marketing] Marketing Meeting 2008.01.16

[Daniele]

Dear All,

I am very sorry for my poor participation at the meeting today. I spent 
most of the time fighting with my connection, with not a lot of look in 
the end.

As for the discussions taken place today, I very much agree that 
optimizing the existing Logos is a very interesting step to take and the 
sooner this is done, the sooner printed material is available.  Having 
the communication concept is also an important step to  define  some of 
the marketing directions in which to take. So it would be great to see 
the results of these actions in the near future.

By looking at the logs, I saw that most of what was discussed was about 
budget (and  of course it is very important) but maybe  agreeing on some 
deadlines would also be a nice way to get things done (GTD 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done> Rox!). What do you 
guys think?

Another thing  that I would like to have done and preferably before the 
first week of February is optimizing the  Mission, Vision and Value 
Statements (http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/OSGeo_Mission). Maybe we 
could set a work group for this with me and someone more experienced (as 
I am new to OSGeo). Can any one help me input on that the next weeks?

Daniele
