Re: [location-iwg] Friends of LocationTech
|
Invite friends to a video "hang out" with a development team for some Q&A. This falls short of offering "free support" but is a good outreach effort, and the results of the hangout can be published after both as useful Q&A and also to promote the "Friends of LocationTech" program.
If you really wanted to push it you could offer alternate formats of documentation downloads.
Thinking of a build box set to produce PDFs (or EPUB) out of some of the Rich Structured Text tutorial content. Personally I only generate the PDFs when I run a training course; this solution would offer the same content as the website in different formats for a nice easy to understand win.
Faced with the value proposition of; donations over $15 provide access to PDF and EPUB format, $49/year for full "Friend of LocationTech" with conference discount etcâ¦
(The lower price point is there to make the decision similar to purchase of an ebook).

Hi All,
I'm breaking out the Friends of LocationTech discussion from the
events thread here.
The ideas suggested that would be of interest so far were:
- early access to downloads
- early access to conference videos
- discounts on event registration
- discounts with vendors
- access to a compute farm - e.g. OSM tile server, other
services
- right to use a logo noting one as a Friend
I tossed out the price of $49/year. My thinking was that one would
save more than the subscription price on the first event alone.
The funds raised would be used to augment & complement other
funding for services of benefit to the community and early
access/special perks for friends. e.g. code sprints, equipment,
bandwidth, videos, etc.
Please do share your thoughts here. I'm jazzed about what we can
potentially do.
Andrew
