Community Building Plan time :)

Hi all,

As an item of good news, upstream Aeolus should have an actual
working version that people can use (in real environments)
pretty shortly! (prob just days)

We should definitely feel good about this. ;) [≙]

Next step, we need to build awareness of Aeolus and what it does
for people, plus get it into their hot little hands. :)

To that effect, lets develop a plan of action for doing this.

One which anyone interested can contribute to, and help out
with. :)

  http://etherpad-aeolusproject.rhcloud.com/p/Community_Planning

There are some elements we need to include, and others are
ideas that I'm not sure about. ;)

(note - bullet points are here, the details are in the etherpad)

 * Website updates
   (front page, about pages, roadmap, new user materials)

   As per Francesco's thread on the mailing list. :)

 * Presenting Aeolus
   (Conferences, AWS Meetups, online Aeolus demo, etc)

 * Getting Aeolus into non-social (:p) media
   (mainstream news media, magazines, podcasts, etc)

 * Social media
   (blogging/planet, twitter, etc)

 * Community Outreach
   (oVirt, AWS Compatible clouds, etc)

 * Use Case development
   (this feeds into most other stuff)

 * Other ideas
   (Aeolus weekly summary concept)

Most of these are huge topics in and of themselves.

So, separate email threads for each.  Pick whichever one's
you're interested in.  Ignore the rest.  ;)

As a useful data point, it's probably worth keeping the
"Developer Community Funnel" in mind for some of this:
