Advocacy/Better

Please add items to the list! Later, I'll go through and categorize things and prioritize them in terms of resources and do-ability. -Selena

• Getting press releases placed in publications which help promote PostgreSQL
  • (/press page as suggested here: http://www.itworld.com/open-source/76011/four-things-open-source-projects-should-know-about-dealing-press)
• Identify who our target market is
• Create a list of copy to be written (includes marketing, How Tos, in-depth explanations)
• Write copy for website/wiki that targets our audiences, as well as new/emerging markets
• Identify how we can help user groups more
• Further promote user groups and help them out somehow
• Improve the user group website
• Help with recruitment of hackers to the project
• Help with recruitment of non-hackers to the project
• Identify non-hacker projects, and connect people who want to be helpful with those projects
• Report out on success/failures of advocacy projects at major conferences
• Encourage new people to give talks on PostgreSQL, attend conferences
• Improve the Wiki Toolset, allowing greater ease of participation & media presentation.
• Produce more papers about how Postgres improved business (ie: what was the business impact of using PG)
• More (and new/better) merchandising
• More participating on events, mostly non-PG events
