== Marketing campaign ==

To better advertise the capabilities of GRASS GIS and its friendly community, we plan a marketing campaign.
Some ideas are

- (ideally) monthly blog post on the main site, with social media advertisements
- ask students of our courses to fix bugs, add examples to manuals or write small tutorials as assignements that we could then show off with
- pick some works of the students and create webinars or live streams
- ... add more


=== Ideas ===

- "feature of the month" with screenshots (use manual pages and Wiki material)
- advertise the mailing lists: purpose and where to subscribe
- newcomer level technical articles about
  - new forthcoming startup in GRASS GIS 8
  - data import/registration
  - from zero to hero
  - the new startup GUI
  - ...
- power user level technical articles about
  - writing examples for manual pages
  - translating messages in Transifex
  - ...
- dev level technical articles about
  - compiling the software
  - work done on removing compiler warnings
  - Python linting and formatting efforts
  - C linting and formatting efforts
  - ...
- edu related articles about
  - tutorials
  - curriculum (goal: enable academics to easier teach GRASS GIS)
  - ...
- present new add-ons and examples of workflows using them
- Nice tweet about ongoing code development: https://gitmemory.com/OSGeo/grass
- Twitter: identify more hashtags to widen up the potential followers
- ...
