[Marketing] Hello

Tue May 31 01:14:31 PDT 2016

Hi Guido,

Sorry, no quick fix from me. My actual advise is to focus on other 
marketing areas where you will gain more value for effort. In 
particular, trying to keep track of all geospatial events, including 
ESRI events, worldwide, is probably not the first thing I'd try tackle.

Maybe help set up and stream line the process for approving requests for 
sponsorship from the marketing committee?

Maybe trace down from OSGeo Priorities to OSGeo Sponsor activities.

Maybe help with refining the OSGeo website.

Maybe contributing toward maintaining and improving the OSGeo-Live 
quickstarts, or the proposed OSGeo-Live notebooks?

Maybe help improve the translation process within OSGeo-Live docs. 
(Ideas have been floated in how to do this, we just need follow through 
from someone to make it happen)

Maybe review the OSGeo-Advocate list and clean up areas where people are 
not fitting in with guidelines. (For the most part, this is pretty good).

Maybe flesh out the contents of the FOSS4G Handbook.

(This is just a few random thoughts off the top of my head, I'm sure 
others could think of more)

Warm regards, Cameron
