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
- ...
Twitter posts

Ideas for upcoming or recurrent posts
New ideas:
- Post PSC meeting minutes
