Line 9: − ''by Sean Daly''+ − − − 1) 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? − − − 2) 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? − − − 3) 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. − − − 4) 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. − − − 5) 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. − − − 6) 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"? − − − 7) 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. − − − 8) Other topics?
