proposal - Centaurus project business discussion group

[annilai88]

Congratulations on the 1st Centaurus TSC meeting. It was a good turnout with great energy. Moving forward, I do agree we should have a separate group, Centaurus project business discussion group (reporting to TSC) to discuss nontechnical strategies and plans.

Here is my suggestion and please let me know your thoughts -

1. Since Centaurus project is still very small, it is important to keep all member companies/orgs involved in the Centaurus project business discussion group.
2. In the Centaurus project business discussion group, we can cover the following topics:
   1. Outreach strategy (training, webinar, etc)
   2. Marketing plan (event participation/sponsorship, messaging, white papers, blogs, social media, etc)
   3. User community (strategy to grow users)

Since everyone is very busy and it’s challenging to get everyone from 3 time zones to participate in meetings, for the simplicity of logistics, I suggest we tag the “Centaurus project business discussion group” meeting to the monthly TSC meeting. So, instead of one hour, we can make the TSC meeting a 2 hour meeting – Here is an example of the monthly TSC meeting agenda:

1st hour – TSC agenda

2nd hour – business discussion group

thoughts?

thanks,

Anni
