marketing notes), we should have an elevator speech for each sector-specific<br>
category--business, education, science, government, NGOs, etc. In most<br>
cases I just linked to the appropriate support forum. </blockquote><div><br>We did come up with elevator speeches at the Plone Strategic Planning Summit and documented them here: <a href="http://www.openplans.org/projects/plone-marketing/elevatorpitch">http://www.openplans.org/projects/plone-marketing/elevatorpitch</a><br>

<div><br>Yes, we have the domain names <a href="http://ploneedu.org">ploneedu.org</a> and <a href="http://plonengo.org">plonengo.org</a> and are just waiting for someone like Xavier to step up and be the champion for those sectors, and shepherd the creation of a community like he has done with <a href="http://PloneGov.org">http://PloneGov.org</a>.<br>
<br>Remember, Plone is a "doacracy", so if you want to see something happen, step up and volunteer to make it happen!<br><br>Nate<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>
Your other edits are all well considered and I would recommend anyone using<br>
this release to make those changes. Some of the improvements you suggest<br>
are to text copied directly from <a href="http://plone.org" target="_blank">plone.org</a>. I suggest that the marketing<br>
community look into reflecting those enhancements back into the core<br>
material.<br>
<br>
I, too, am not one who writes press releases and in fact don't have a clear<br>
idea of what the next step is. Hopefully Nate or Mark or someone else<br>
knowledgeable will come to our rescue. :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
