[TYPO3-UG US] Conference Call Minutes 4/6/2008

[Manos Sifakis]

Chris Duffy recommended looking into setting up a pre-recorded 30 minute 
question answer session during business hours to discuss opportunities 
to get new businesses more active in collectively marketing TYPO3. Chris 
Duffy also requested TYPO3 US Conference Calls to be held 6pm Central 
time if possible due to her full time job.

Per Michael, Martin of Cablan.net would like the calls at 6 PM Central 
as well.

Per Manos and supported by a few others was to hold the calls during 
normal business hours or at least during the work week instead of weekends.

For people new to the TYPO3 US Conference Calls, the 30 minute 
prerecorded presentation session will explain TYPO3 and various agendas 
related to marketing and business development agendas (TBD). The live 
discussion begins after the recorded presentation ends. This way people 
already familiar with these marketing and business agendas can call in 
30 minutes later.

AGENDA DEVELOPMENT AND IDEAS FOR FOSTERING BUSINESS GROWTH

Create a sign up form for future meetings.

Provide incentives to encourage participation. Request and use community 
feedback to develop business agendas focusing on financial incentives, 
collective marketing and project collaboration.

Establish referral network specific to core competencies of involved 
businesses for marketing purposes.

Discuss and develop business model and related contractual agreements 
and business processes for businesses interested in partnering with each 
other over marketing, sales and project development.
