+The March 10, 2009 agenda has not been posted yet.
-) Make SL press-contactable
-We still have no telephone(s) solution and this is getting hot. I am
-currently looking at an answering service solution which can provide a
-local dedicated phone number to voicemail in Boston or NYC with e-mail
-alert for under $10 per month. Advantages: stable phone number and
-cost, any phone message can reach several people so no single point of
-failure. Disadvantage: journalists prefer speaking with humans instead
-of recordings of humans. We do need a solution this week. Side issue,
-but urgent: we need to be able to send the press releases (en, fr, es,
-de, pt) from the pr@sugarlabs.org alias. How will that work?
-) 0.84 Marketing talking points.
-What new features of the Sugar Learning Platform do we want to talk
-about in the press release? Let's hit-parade them. Input please! My
-feeling is to prefer talking up Activities over the platform, but
-perhaps there is platform news we just can't keep to ourselves?
-) 0.84 Press release draft - how shall we handle?
-I had been asked to do a brief on the fuzzy science of creating a
-press release (distributing it and placing it is a separate subject!).
-We need to start with the skeleton (letterhead, About Sugar Labs).
-But, I'm not at all sure if we want to circulate actual title & draft
-text prior to the launch. However, the goal of asking the translation
-team for help requires some lead time - the sooner they have the text,
-the better. Your point of view regarding this workflow is requested.
-) Launch countdown
-It's not quite clear to me how we pick the magic date & time when the
-release goes out, the final version is published, and hopefully
-journalists take notice. If we can work out a coordination protocol
-(e.g. Walter decides, or Simon decides the release date/time), we can
-work together to the countdown. Let's work together on this.
-) Printable PDF brochure (was: elevator pitch for teachers)
-The more I think about it, the more this resembles a condensed version
-of text from the new static site. So I think we should put energy into
-that over the next couple of days, and the PDF will come out on the
-rebound in time for the launch.
-) Sugar Stories
-Can we try to put together at least 3 and hopefully 5 stories about
-Sugar contributors? Before we all nominate each other (joke) let's
-think about how we can do this quickly. The goal being to encourage
-prospective volunteers to the fun & satisfaction of working on Sugar.
-maybe as simple as asking everyone to update their page on the wiki
-with "Why I Contribute To Sugar"?
-) Sugar on a Stick (SoaS)
-Update on where we are with ordering sticks, but we also need to
-decide shipping address! Fabulous idea from Carol: include a SoaS USB
-maker in Sugar & on the liveCD.
-) Other topics?
