<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Dave,<br><br></div>these are indeed useful for non-marketers to get a feel for how a competitive landscape study is presented, or how a marketing plan is built.<br><br></div>There are differences with SL, in particular there are no funds for market studies (or actual marketing for that matter).<br><br>I believe I did a SWOT analysis a few years ago, but it will be quite outdated now.<br><br></div>With a project roadmap the community supports, a marketing plan can be prepared. Historically, with the almost complete lack of funds (my contribs excepted), I concentrated on PR as a vector, generating positive news coverage with relatively modest expense ($300 per release on average). Today, a better approach would be social media.<br><br></div><div>Our value proposition pitching Sugar should include a "Try Sugar" browser instance and a pancake button installer. The devil is in the details of what that button should point to. Historically, we point to a wiki page which probably does the best job possible to guide an experienced computer user to an installation/configuration method. Simplifying this for teachers would be great.<br></div><div><br></div>Sean<br> <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 30, 2016 at 1:10 AM, Dave Crossland <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dave@lab6.com" target="_blank">dave@lab6.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>Hi<div><br></div><div>In my font work I was contacted by a recent BA International Business graduate, and their homepage has a few samples of marketing plans they'd produced.
