if you want to look to a model then look to Ubuntu Local Teams
Can you explain more?
I thought you'd never ask
Oh, sorry if I missed a prior suggestion from your side.
Quick comment:
IMO the way the Marcons structure was at OpenOffice.org was passive, you
setup a list of individuals as contacts in local areas and then they
waited for something to happen.
That is how it worked out mostly. Anyway, eventually.
I have not been involved in the early years, but from what I remember
there has been exchange of / demand for (year) reports in the early times.
What the Ubuntu Local Team approach does is say, you must demonstrate
that there is:
1 - more then one person in an area as a contact
2 - these people are actively engaged in local activities
3 - REQUIRE feedback from these people on a regular basis
[This has to be both a carrot / stick approach, heavy on the carrot]
in other words, and I realize only my POV, it seemed that the Marcon
model was passive, where as the Local Team approach is pro-active.
In any case I recognise that there was activity from our local Ubuntu
group. But the Dutch language group was not completely inactive either ;-)
Whatever it may be: I support the idea that a pro-active approach is
what we need.
So we definitely need to learn from the good examples that help to build
such a sustainable community.
A good visibility, as the list that Warrens refers to, is one important
thing of course.
Fabian Rodriquez made what I thought were good points along these lines
a few months back, I think on the fr mailing list (discuss?) and I'll go
look for that for a reference for this thread.
Thanks,
