[Marketing] The End of Sugar (thought exercise)

[samson goddy]

I think it's important to use some of the 10,000 $$ to maintain and push the marketing sector forward. Like the Social manager role i proposed. what do you guys think?

Welcome to the marketing team. Please start a document and I'll add to it :)

I already have survey listed in https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/2016_Goals :)



If we had $10,000 to spend on "marketing," how would you spend it?
 Well given we seemed to have scared off Sugar's historical marketing expert, 
lol 
I have no idea what a fair usage of $10,000 would be, or how it might be subdivided.
Fair enough. You said "we might not have enough funds for more than [something]" which implied to me that you had ideas for things we _could_ do with funding and were discounting them as out of the question, and I wanted you to not be shy about your ideas about how to use funds :)  Not everyone wants to work on Sugar like it is a tech startup with a brick on the accelerator and the brakes disconnected.
LOL :)
I said that it would be good to get Sugar back to where it was, not that we should seek venture capital and pursue user growth at the expense of all other metrics. 
I am confused why you would say "stop the bleeding!" and a moment later say you don't want to get Sugar back to where it was.
