Marketing Team/Getting Involved

'''There are many ways to help. These are a few.'''

Attend an Event
Help by attending an event and talking about the Sugar mission. The current list of Events is kept here: Marketing Team/Events. Feel free to attend one of these, or add your own!

What kind of events should I be attending?

 * Educational events. Educators should be helping guide the direction of Sugar, and we should be bringing more of them to the table.
 * Developer events. We always need more developers, both core and activity.  Finding Python developers will be especially useful.
 * BarCamps. There are constantly BarCamps going on all over the world ([]) and they are extremely participatory in nature.  Show up in the morning, pitch a session about Sugar, and see who comes to your talk.  A great way of getting in front of people.

What should I be doing?

 * Create and distribute Sugar live media. The best way to convince people to use Sugar is by making it easy for them to try Sugar -- and with such a broad array of choices (Supported_systems), this should be simple for anyone to help with.
 * Host a BoF session. Most conference have Birds of a Feather sessions.  Propose a Sugar BoF and be ready to answer lots of questions.
 * Offer to speak. Many conferences need good speakers to fill out speaker slots.  Don't be shy!
