MicroProfile Marketing:
Clark from EF should be able to find out how much budget is left for 2023. Reza will talk to Clark. Could the MicroProfile swags be printed in Germany? Motion: Allocate $3k from MicroProfile budget in 2023 to sponsor EclipseCon Community Java Day in October 2023. No objections. Red Hat abstains. Roberto brought up there are many other conferences and we could consider the sponsorship. Conference support is not assumed to be a recurring event and will be reviewed every year Conclusion: Motion passed. For the second point, the idea is to spend $5K of the remaining budget on professional, written tutorials that will aid in the adoption of the technology.
Reza: $5k is bare minimum to spend to promote MicroProfile. Maybe $10k if we can afford it. David: We should consider other ways such as volunteering first. If we could not find the free contributions, we can consider the paying option either getting one person or multiple people. We can do something like a conference pass etc.
Reza: How long should we wait for volunteers? David: Instead of getting one person, we get a few people and award the top contributors. Create a program that has prizes for the top contributors, advertise the program and rewards and get volunteers. There can be tiers of prizes. Run the program for a few months and conclude in enough time to use the budget this year, say December. Prizes would be allocated to the top contributors. Amelia: Reach out to Victor to see whether he is interested in doing the contributions. Lars wrote the whitepaper in the past with many companies contributing pro-bono.
Reza: We need to solidify the plan. Next step: Reza will use open source mediums to reach out to Clark to find out the Marketing budget. We (MicroProfilers) are discussing the design of a programme to encourage community contributions. |
