VisComTODO

List of tasks to be done by Promotion and Visibility Committee. Eventually I imagine this should be handled by the bug (artifact?) tracker but I don't know how to use that properly yet.

Committee Meetings

 * First VisCom Meeting (was March 22, 2006)
 * Second VisCom Meeting (was April 27th, 2006)
 * Third_VisCom_Meeting (will be May 11th, 2006)

Short Term

 * Organize LinuxTag 2006 exhibition and meeting
 * Organize strategy for "Where 2.0" conference (some board members got already contacted by the organizers)
 * prepare Web page contents about "What OSGeo is doing" to attract sponsors. This is related to Fundraising. Then forward this material to WebCom
 * Setup feedback mechanism for web site. I suppose this ought to be creating artifacts in the bug system, but a feedback email list might be more appropriate.
 * Recruit more members on discuss list. What skills are most valuable?

Medium Term

 * Operate OSGeo Booth
 * Work on https://visibilitycommittee.osgeo.org contents
 * Organize translation volunteers.
 * Prepare canned notes/slides about OSGeo for general member use
 * Prepare presentation on use of OS code inside (closed) corporate shops (see notes at user:mpg)

Wiki

 * Organize staff at LinuxTag 2006

Recently Completed

 * First Press Release published 6 March 2006

Other Notes
Do we have a place to put these kind of outreach ideas? Couldn't find one on the wiki - TMitchell
 * Consider responding to UK open source for non-profits survey
