User:Quaid/Plan for FLOSS ISV Ecosystem in 2009
From FedoraProject
February to May 2009 plan
Goal
- Be recognized by ISVs as the best and friendliest place to bring their software for packaging
- ... because we are upstream of RHEL et al and
- ... our processes produce the best supportable open source products
- ... enabling ISVs to gain large success with lower investments by working as far upstream as possible.
Community org
- Regular schedule and important detail notices (underway)
- AKA "ISV SIG Weekly Dispatch"
- Organize regular meeetings (end of Feb.)
- Recruit ISVs
- Feb: SCaLE
- Mar: CUE, SD West, MySQL Conf
- Apr: LFNW
- May/June OSCON
- ISV SIG mini-summits
- SCaLE 7x (?)
- LinuxFest Northwest (Apr)
- OSCON (July)
- RH Summit/JBoss World (Sep)
Growth strategies
- "Why care?" collateral for different ISV audiences, get in front of internal audiences, iterate/generate new from feedback -- March
- General SIG details and wide-audience "Why?" (done)
- Work with ISVs to get Features (March 3) or packages (4 April) in for Fedora 11 (Mar, Apr)
- Structure for success.
- Mailing list (done)
- Task list (needed)
- "Why" content (needs expansion)
- Regular meetings (needed)
- Group event (needed)
- I.e. virtual summit, mini-summit(s)
- Group schedule (or not?)
