Subject: Proposal for new GlassFish mailing list for Evangelist /
Adoption / Marketing
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 11:00:40 -0700
From: Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart <pelegri_at_sun.com>
To: dev_at_glassfish.dev.java.net
GlassFish adoption is clearly accelerating and part of that has been all
the developers, users, and other members of the GF community that have
been contributing a lot of grass-root energy into this activity.
These community efforts are being coordinated informally through blog
threads, some threads in the general GF forum @ Java.Net and some
mailing threads in DEV and USERS mailing list.
Separatedly, Sun has had for a long time a sun-internal alias that
roughly covers this space. The fact that it is Sun-internal is a
historical anomaly and I want to fix that very soon by moving the
discussion somewhere at the GF community.
I'd like to ask for suggestions for name and location for this discussions.
My feeling is that we do not want to "dump" all these new discussions
into the USERS alias, so my suggestion is to create a new mailing list;
name TBD (see proposals below).
Different OSS projects do things differently, but this type of approach
seems the right one for GF. From what I can see...
- Apache folds "technical evangelism" into USERS
- Mozilla has a very well developed "tech-evangelism" group, with many
aliases, etc.
- NetBeans has an evangelism team with an associated alias

Thoughts? Comments?
Regarding, the name, last week I had created a
"marketing_at_glassfish.dev.java.net", but then I realized it may be best
to ask for feedback. Names I can think of include:
- Marketing
- Evangelism
- Adoption
- Tech-Evangelism
I'd like to act on this by the end of the week, so post your thoughts as
replies to this thread.... I'm posting the thread to DEV but I'll
cross-post it to USERS and to the FORUM.
Thanks,
