Department Coordinator

• The DC asked for ideas to celebrate Joomla’s 13th birthday on August 17th. The team members proposed good ideas with a blogpost “13 reasons to love Joomla” (to be written by Rowan) + asking on Social Media for the top reasons for loving Joomla to the community to create interactions and using a dedicated hashtag (to define #ilovejoomla #whyIloveJoomla)
• The DC is looking for help for the copywriting of the teasing campaign for Joomla 3.9 (images nearly ready - icons are missing and need to be created, by Lili if she has the time). The DC asked for a proper Press Release for 3.9
• The DC asked for help for improving the content of the monthly newsletters
• Awareness: find ways to get professionals copywriters to provide articles to publish on external websites to promote Joomla. Clear focus on a topic would have to be made in each article. After trying to get copywriters from inside the community, and due to the lack of volunteers, we need to get authors from outside our community
• DC asked the marketing team to find ways to assist more the Production Department in order to help defining a ‘plan for the future’, a roadmap.
