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
