Business Team/Recruitment Plan

Recruitment Plan

Pre-requisites - Prior to starting any recruitment into the WG:

We need to have in place all the below listed items:

Documented governance (Jack: discussion for General meeting)
Documented roadmap (Jack will draft milestone roadmap)
Documented charter (Team feels new Mission, Vision, Execution page is good enough for now)
New presentation for recruiting purposes (TBD)
Documented on-boarding process allowing companies to both know where they can focus and what resources they need to invest in the WG (TBD)

Team feels starting a recruitment effort without the above being ready, will not lead to desired results.

Proposed Process (not listed in perfect order - this is a proposal):

SPDX current participants propose names of companies to invite to join SPDX WG
Ibrahim can help locate the right contacts if proposed companies are Linux Foundation members - right contacts are Legal Counsels working on open source, Director/VP open source, compliance officer, etc.
Set up a call with company + SPDX Reps + Ibrahim
Present SPDX pitch deck to the company (value proposition)
Get feedback
Keep email discussion ongoing and possibly enlarge the audience at target company
Invite company to next F2F or to call depending on interest
Keep email discussion ongoing and possibly enlarge the audience at target company
Keep contacts at company informed of new developments
Setup a F2F if it makes sense
Propose an SPDX seminar - deep dive style. We need to develop content for that purpose as part of on-boarding companies.
Identify road blocks for joining - work to resolve them (most likely they will come up with other companies as well)

In parallel, we need to have:

- Strong event presence for education and promotion

- Very usable web site

- A way to capture interest on the web site (capture who downloads papers or spec for example and reach out to them)

- 2.0 execution plan - detailed info on what's in 2.0, what needs to be done to get to a release point, etc.
