Here is his original mail: http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::3295 I would suggest taking advantage of this, as it would also strengthen the relationship with the original KDE developers in general.

What makes marketing of opensuse different from trinity is that opensuse work on a defined release schedule and has always done a number of things to beat the drum about their release number next. However, most is entirely irrelevant to a project like trinity. One thing that does work for them and may work here is their countdown to release that drums up interest in an upcoming release. I see that as being 'tenuously' relevant to tde, but just so. Where people may actively look for a new distribution or a 'first time' distribution to try, making it sensible to market a distribution, far fewer go out 'looking' for a new desktop (even if it is the greatest thing since sliced bread....) I see "marketing" for tde being keeping good working relationships with the distributions that package and contribute to the tde project and working to build new relationships with those that currently don't. I see marketing as making sure that we do not have 5 fragments of tde being developed separately at the different distros that cause splits or forks of the code and making sure that patches and updates flow both ways between the various shops (i.e. tde to robert and ilya at suse and vice versa) I see marketing for tde as giving some love and attention to the wiki to insure that it is a welcoming and informative place for new users and distros to check out, learn from and get involved. There were good etherpad efforts in the past that probably still contain a wealth of information that has not made its way into the wiki. I know we all have nothing but spare time, so the wiki gets its love as time permits (though candidly, I do think it could use a bit, and I've always pointed to the Archlinux wiki as a model of how to do a distro with a code base integrated with it) When is the next tde meeting scheduled? We could put marketing/wiki on the agenda and at least firm-up a direction to take in making whatever improvements make sense. (hell, I might even get my freenode nick to register correctly for once...) Keep the list posted on the schedule. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
