[Sugar-devel] Smart way to get $$ for posting videos on youtube

[Ifeanyi Peter]

Hi all,
I think the main issue here is that some people are using SugarLabs vidoes (maybe composed by them) to make $$.
Banking on that, is for SL to start making more 'interactive' vidoes which will also bring like-minded person to SL and at thesame time we can earn money via Google Adsense.
+1 for Samson's suggestion.
Secondly for the ads in the WIKI page of SL, that would also earn $$ for SL but it has to be dome professionally so that we do not tarnish the image of SL. 

E.g we can use just 'related' Text ads at the bottom of the page. This will not only help us get money but will hep our SEO (backlinks).
The last time I checked SL is 'a non-profit organization' - Please @samson and @Dave can work out something on the policy so that we have a balanced trend on that aspect.
Thanks

What data do you have to back up this assertion? :) 

I suggest that Samson learn how to do social media monetization by trying both CTA/Annotations and ads and seeing which works better.  I support Samuel's suggestion to regroup our social media accounts and publish a posting policy modelled on Cloudstack's.

I agree - Samson, would you be willing to draft a policy, a regrouping plan, and a content plan? 
(Perhaps in some ways similar to the plan I drafted for the Github migration? https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Infrastructure_Team/Migrating_to_GitHub) Leaving aside our small content stream, a fundraising drive needs a compelling story about our vision and goals. I'm not sure what that story should be.
Per the conversion funnel model (https://github.com/sugarlabs/www-sugarlabs/blob/master/STRUCTURE.md#conversion-funnel) then I think the videos should be about "Discovery, Awareness, Attract, Brand"; which is to say, that they should be short (under 1 minute), show off 'the best of sugar' and leave people thinking "I want to try out Sugar" 
How many cool things can be phrased like, "Did you know with Sugar you can do X"?

Eg, I hope that by the end of the summer we can make a video that says "Did you know with Sugar you can make fonts?"

Your assertion that SL would see more revenue from CTA compared to ads.

Cheers

That would be great! Would you prefer to use the wiki, github markdown
files, an etherpad, or a google doc? :)

Cheers

Hi Sebastian

I am not proposing to re-enable that feature. The purpose is to enable 
the user to provide a title for the Journal object.

Why are we not using the alert which Utkarsh has implemented for the 
fiddle save? It works. It looks good. He has the code in hand.

Hi, Walter

Apparently I am being very careless in writing. The intent of this 
feature is to require a title supplied by the user before the object is 
saved. If the user
changes the title in the activity palette, as per the originial design, 
the 'save as' alert is not needed. If the user does not care enough 
about the document
to give it a name, then it need not be saved (as when one scribbles in 
Paint to try out a color, for example).

It really has nothing to do with commit. That is done automatically when 
the activity quits if the user has given it a name. Currently in most of 
the XOs I look at, the Journal is full of 'Write activity' objects where 
the user has no chance to remember which one was which.
