The Sugar Labs Marketing Team exists to spread the good word about Sugar. Sugar provides a simple yet powerful means of engaging young children in the world of learning that is opened up by computing and the Internet. It is the job of the Sugar Labs Marketing Team to promote the benefits of Sugar as widely as possible, and to recruit volunteers to help improve the Sugar experience.

Mission

The mission of the Marketing team is to articulate the benefits of Sugar (simplify), to promote these benefits as widely as possible (amplify), and to recruit volunteers to improve the Sugar experience.

Team Coordinator

Davelab6 (sdaly at sugarlabs.org) is Marketing Coordinator and welcomes ideas and comments but most of all communicators interested in helping out!

Projects

Deliverables and/or initiatives actively being worked on (with goals and deadlines).

Events

See Marketing Team/Events for a table of events we are targeting.

v0.84 press release

Our press push for the 0.84 Sugar release began Monday, March 16th and is continuing! New Press page is here: http://www.sugarlabs.org/index.php?template=press

Sugar Stories

How Sugar motivates us: a series of profiles on contributors. Marketing Team/Sugar stories

Press contacts list

We're working on a Marketing Team/Press contacts list with education-oriented publications.

PR phone line

+1.857.265.1100

Marketing Team/Phone is a number that journalists can call for quotes, interviews, clarifications, etc. about Sugar. This is a VoIP number which at this time forwards either to the Marketing Coordinator, an Oversight Board member, or voicemail which is forwarded as a timestamped soundfile to pr AT sugarlabs DOT org, an account monitored through forwarding by the Marketing Coordinator and two others.

Sugar Labs website

Our polished static website as a landing page for Sugar Labs is live and the new Activities section too. We are currently working on a common navigation bar for all the site sections to simplify navigation for first-time visitors. Marketing Team/Website

Swag

To view, download, and contribute to swag designs (stickers, t-shirts, business cards, USB sticks, etc.) and coordinate purchasing swag from suppliers, see Marketing Team/Swag. This is being built up into a general resource for the 0.84 launch in early March 2009.

Discussions

Conversations that may one day turn into projects, or may have in the past been projects.

Pitches

Short, 1-page elevator pitches to sell Sugar to various audiences. Not formalized, but the homepage (www.sugarlabs.com) is the best starting point. Marketing Team/Pitches

Logo

See Marketing Team/Logo.

Name

Ongoing discussion. See Marketing Team/Name

Slogans

Several slogan options are available at Marketing Team/Slogan.
