[Community] Growing the Community

[Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Hi all,
to help to grow the community I have made some extended
excerpt from the LinuxTag presentation which describes the
reasons why the world needs this community, what it is and
what its values are to give reasons why interested persons should
be a member. You can find it here (or linked on the top left
of http://www.openphoenux.org)

<http://projects.goldelico.com/p/openphoenux/downloads/get/OpenPhoenux.pdf> [1]

It is not enough that we have the document somewhere... It must
be actively used by those who never did hear about OpenPhoenux.

So please use this material when talking to people about our activities.

I think you could also do that by subscribing to relevant mailing lists
and fora and inserting it into discussions whenever it appears to be
appropriate. Sort of viral spreading of the word :)

Another means of attracting new community members can be
by using the Logo and linking to the openphoenux.org home
page. You can easily do that by inserting the following (or similar)
HTML into your personal home page, blogs or other publications
where you find it appropriate.

Thanks for your help to grow our community,
Nikolaus
