Hello Everyone and especially to those interested in EPF outreach
With the recession being called off, life has been busy and has left  
me with little time to think about EPF outreach. A few of you have  
enthusiastically offered to volunteer to help in this effort and I do  
not want to leave you languishing. Hopefully in the next two weeks I  
will be able to get a few issues into Bugzilla so we can start making  
some real progress. In the meantime here are a few things you may want  
to think about.
1) We need a EPF website outside of eclipse. Eclipses has a rather  
disciplined process for placing material in its archives and for what  
may be placed on the Eclipse site (as it should be given what Eclipse  
is about). We need something that is a bit more user friendly and  
community supportive. We need a place where we can have forums, people  
can post articles (semi-moderated) and trade plug-ins. So what we need  
here is someone or group of someones to volunteer to create this  
website. We need a place to store the bits ( I may be able to help on  
that).
2) A few of us have created a one day intro to OpenUP course. However  
we need more in-depth course material, for example project management  
with OpenUP.
3) While there are a few tutorials about how to use Composer, I think  
we need more example. This does not have to be just powerpoint, how  
about webinars? Video? Be imaginative. Something that could well boost  
EPF is using imaginitive techniques for outreach.
4) We need case studies
5) And all of the above should be in available in multiple languages.
Let me know if this interests you, or if you have ideas for other work.
best regards,
Steve Adolph
