THE SPDX WIKI IS NO LONGER ACTIVE. ALL CONTENT HAS BEEN MOVED TO https://github.com/spdx
Business Team/Recruitment Plan
From SPDX Wiki
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 (Phil working with Ibrahim)
- 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.
