[Eg-oversight-board] FW: URGENT - due Friday 1/17 re: request: Conservancy needs your Project's highlights & photos from FY2012

[Borger, Shauna]

Has anyone gotten a chance to think about this yet? What would everyone think about breaking our report to Conservancy down this way and asking individuals to provide a summary for the report?


*         Versions of Evergreen released - Dan Wells

*         DIG progress - Yamil

*         Conference (2013 and planning for 2014) - Ben Hyman

*         Fundraising and product store - Rogan

Just some ideas. I thought it would be good to break up the content we want to provide so that one person isn't scrambling to pull info together although we do have content from the Evergreen newsletters that we could pull from.

Thanks,

Subject: URGENT - due Friday 1/17 re: request: Conservancy needs your Project's highlights & photos from FY2012

Hi, all:
I sent an email out on 12/16 asking projects to provide us with highlights and photos from FY2012 (March 1, 2012 - February 29, 2013).  I haven't received any responses.

We want Conservancy's annual report to be about the member projects, and all of the great work your communities do.  But we can't include any information about your project's accomplishments unless you send them to me.

Please send me a few highlights by the end of this week (Friday, January 17).  For more information, please review the email I sent on 12/16 (copied below for your reference).

Thanks; I look forward to your highlights!  Best, -Tony

***Please send me your Project's one or two major highlights from FY2012.  Here are the kinds of things we're looking for:
- a major software update (with an explanation of what made this a big deal for your Project, and how the public benefits)
- the fulfillment of a major proposal
- a positive development that generated some nice buzz in the tech press
- a feel-good success story (e.g., an organization or municipality using Project X's software to do good work, a "human interest" story where Project X's software is involved, etc.)
- something I haven't thought of, but that you think is cool and would really showcase the good stuff your Project has accomplished in FY2012.

NOTE:  specific anecdotes work better than generic accomplishments.

***In addition, if you have any photos of project-related activities -- meetings, conferences, hackfests, mentoring sessions, etc. -- please send them to me, along with a note indicating the license under which those photos are available.

I've attached last year's report in PDF format, to give you an idea of what we're looking for.

I can't guarantee that we'll be able to include every Project's highlights and photos in the report, but we'll do our best to shine a light on the important work you do as a collective to generate great code for the public.
