Having various Online pieces in this which have not been discussed in
the context of today makes this extremely difficult to vote for quickly
- particularly without a discuss thread.

  The last board call we had:

    + re-look at the marketing plan (Paolo)
        + believe we should remove LOOL mentions for now
        + should be a live plan, we can modify it
        + for the moment: don't spend time
     promoting LOOL until we have an alternative or
     an agreement

  That sounds very sensible to me; and:

        + see all slides - some should not be there (Lothar)
           + why I'm for this / that.
           + should have a version next week -
         separate these out.

  So I assumed these would be removed. If that is the case - then I
support the plan, +1, otherwise it will need significantly more thought.

  Was that an oversight in shrinking the slides ? and of course, luckily
it's a link so easy to tweak ?

  Thanks,

    Michael.

As already mentioned by Michael the Lool parts should probably be revisited.

But the plan has my +1 in general.

All the best,
Nicolas

My vote is APPROVAL (+1) to the Marketing Plan

I think it is necessary to thank everyone for their work on this, although I insist that we need this type of consultation to receive more participation from the members of the foundation. I encourage everyone, once again, to express their opinion when the opportunity arises.
However, this is a significant step forward in finding balances and compromises to work with the ecosystem for a bright future. Both commercial and volunteer contributors do valuable work.

+1.

I would like to thank everyone that contributed to the discussion and
provided their inputs to make these (long awaited) changes to take form.

I think this is a first important step, but it should be only the
beginning of a journey, as underlined by the proposal by Lothar, to get
to a stable, balanced, sustainable and win-win status-quo between
volunteers and ecosystem partners. Everyone's contribution (on the
Marketing Plan, but more in general towards the project) is key for a
bright future for the project and our community.

Cheers,

There has been made some comments on these parts early (June) but never
discussed. I assume since the idea was to not include these now in the plan.

So apart from that: happy with the result.

Hi,

+1, Approve from me.

This subset is very well describing where we are and what we should do in the next years. I agree with all the contents in this subset and hope to take action following the plan with all the community friends.

And, Lothar’s change (from 7.0 to 7.1) tells us that, we have already had delays and should take action as soon as possible.
