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)

Pending

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
