Reopen Issue

This ticket will likely be owned by Marketing, but until we figure out how best to coordinate this, I'm going to put it here.

This ticket will be a sort of "archetype" for talking-points lists we need to develop for various groups/audiences.

The target audiences we want to reach here are:

  • Students: Potential users and potential contributors. Why contributing to Open Source helps your resume, get's you valuable hands-on experience, etc...
  • Staff: Why using Open Source in the lab is effective (cost-effective and tech ed effective.)
  • Faculty: Why using Open Source in the classroom is helpful to the professor (POSSE content here), and how it is helpful to Students (better educated on latest tools, working in real-world projects, huge distributed teams, revision control, etc...)

No matter where we are. many of the universities have the same kind of problems and interest, let me add a few talking points , only a draft but I hope this will start a brainstorming to add, edit or remove many more talking points.

==Students==
Mission: To convince students to become active user and contributors.

  • Easy approximation to cutting-edge technologies like Containers, virtualization and development tools.
  • Friendly Community

==Professors==
Mission: To convince professors to use Open Source in the classroom is helpful to the professor and students
* A lot scientific packages available from many areas (Mathematics, Physics, engineering)

==Staff==
Mission: To convince staff to use Open Source in the lab is effective (cost-effective and tech effective) alternative.
* Many tools for monitoring and administering large computer labs
* Straightforward and very well documented procedures for many administrative tasks by example Network configuration

Putting this onto a backburner for a bit… I think we bit off a little more than we can chew at the moment. We will definitely pick this one up later in 2017…

Discussed during 2017-02-21 meeting.

We agreed and acknowledged that this ticket is more of a marketing task, and it fits into their existing ticket about crafting an education-focused campaign.
