Frankly, I would rather focus PR around sprints in general, and also the Randa sprints specifically, on showing results of the sprints. This is what is really interesting to the community, to the people who support us, and to the outside world. Sprints are community driven, so attention for the sprints should rather go through the specific channels of the teams doing the sprints. That's way more effective. The sprint manager app might be cool, but this is an administration tool for us. At this state I would find it premature to write news stories about it. Maybe when it has proven to enhance our productivity, it would be great to report about it, but now this isn't something which is very interesting to the world in general. And for the set of articles about Nepomuk, I would love to read the articles itself, and not an announcement that they are coming. Randa is a sprint, or rather a set of sprints, and the purpose of sprints is to get stuff done, to be productive, to build community. Early publicity doesn't really help with that, it might even be counter-productive. So I think we don't need to spend much time on writing dot stories right now, and rather should use the time for the actual preparation of the sprints. -- Cornelius Schumacher <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
