Ian’s reply to my question.

 

Robert, will anyone from ATF be at the members’ meeting and/or the European Summit?

 Tim,

 

I think there are potential two or three different audiences you are looking at, probably each requires a different tactic/timing.   First, I am a big beliver that nothing will happen until you get running code into cvs.   Sorry I can’t keep up with all of the projects, so I am not sure if your subprojects have code yet?

 

For developers (who I think would become users and potential contributors), I would suggest there are a number of things we can do to help raise awareness.   We are doing a series fo webinars, similar to what we did with Callisto.   We could try to do one on one of these sub-projects.   I am also going to do another series of podcast with EclipseZone, so we could do something there.

 

For contributor/committers/adopters, we are looking for lightening talks for the members meeting.   This would allow you to get infront of the member representatives.   We will also have a table top exhibit during the reception , that projects are invited to participate.

 

Those are some of the things that come to mind.   As always, I’d love to help get an article published about one of the subprojects.  If you send me an abstract I can help pitch it to different publications.   Technical articles IMHO are the best thing for getting awareness/adoption.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Ian

Ian,

 

The WTP PMC is looking for ways to increase awareness around our sub projects – JSF, Dali/JPA, and ATF. All of these areas are receiving a great deal of attention from developers, but we have not had a corresponding influx of community members or new committers, particularly outside the existing member company lines.

 

Any ideas for ways we could drive awareness / engagement at all levels – end users, product and project adoption, and contributor/committer interest? I had thought of adding some banner info on the WTP website, but you may have more highly leveraged options available. Any ideas appreciated,

 

Tim
