[Xavier.A]

Hi all,

First, u all are making a great job and i apologize if i will hurt some of u I saw a lot of things in the mailing list but

WHAT ABOUT THE SME SERVER MARKETING ?

Who are taking care of the Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/koozali/info ? what about twitter, linkin, viadeo, google+ accounts or other network web site? Did anyone take care of networking? did anyone look at http://www.google.fr/business/placesforbusiness/ ?

Do u like this search results :

• https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=sme+server&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=xnHaUr39DOjI0AWFrYGoBg&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1603&bih=783
• https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=koozali&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=AHjaUu-_DqGa7QbMnIG4BQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1603&bih=808

I found logos here : http://www.clapico.com/2013/05/12/sme-server-inc/

Who is the communication/marketing manager, can we join him to talk about the marketing plan ?

what is the page rank of Koozali web site? where are the download statistics? who take care of the users database to do XRM? where can we found the market study or the competitor analysis about SME server (not this one : http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20140106 , this one : http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:About , really?)

Where are the press kits to publish announce on our web site? and i don' t mean this one : http://wiki.contribs.org/File:Linux_logo_SME.png or the one on my web site !

the links here : http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,49862.0.html , are not good anymore !
here nothing : http://wiki.contribs.org/Koozali_Foundation_Design_Brief

I'm writing a post on SME8.1 beta3 and SME9.0 beta3 and i don't have any pictures or banners about Koozali ! The koozali logo is really amazing, we need it to make advertising, look at distrowatch.com : http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=smeserver , our distribution look is old fashion, our distribution server-manager (web GUI) is old fashion !

We need to build a graphic identity.

I really want to help but we need stuff to do it and not just complaint ! This page (https://wiki.contribs.org/Help) need to be completed and to be more commercial.

I don't have so much time to help in programming, or writing wiki page, i'm starting a new IT company but i can do some advertising and posts about koozali

Koozali need a real communication strategy to wake up the community. In french we say "Savoir, Savoir-faire, Faire savoir" !

We are waiting a man who want to lead it, do you want to do this, it will be a pleasure to work with you.
I'm not looking to more ideas to waste my free time, i'm looking to the man who aim to do it.

Of course i do not want to offend everyone...i lack of words of vocabulary to express my opinion

But yes you are right Xavier.

@Steph

I put your stuff in this page to share logos http://blog.ansoult.fr/co/2014-01-19.html

and after our today communication by mail, i must say i m agree with you.

I put a Power By SME in the right column of my web site,

Can we build a page in the wiki with example of web site power by SME like the old one of Free-EOS : http://free-eos.org/modules/mylinks/viewcat.php?cid=4

For marketing, I'm OK

a friend of mine the designer of koozali website has done the job and opened the facebook page, other media needs to be made, but i'm really not a social media modern, irc is nice, blogs are fine

i have planned to make a planet (a rss-agregator) about smeserver, i have found some websites (about 40-50) this needs to be detailed and continued

Who is the communication/marketing manager, can we join him to talk about the marketing plan ?

Nobody is in charge of this aspect, seems that the way is free. I think that you should take considerations about other people in discussion list, or even with the board since we are working around the world and what it offends French can be cool in USA, or the contrary.

what is the page rank of Koozali web site? where are the download statistics? who take care of the users database to do XRM? where can we found the market study or the competitor analysis about SME server (not this one : http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20140106 , this one : http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:About , really?)

No page rank of koozali website now, need to be finished, nothing at all really huge, but need some time

Where are the press kits to publish announce on our web site? and i don' t mean this one : http://wiki.contribs.org/File:Linux_logo_SME.png or the one on my web site !

you should setup a page about this, you are right and i'm sure that if you start then other can help also.

Let's Go

Hi,

I've got a few comments on the new koozali.org site. It might seem like a long list of complaints so I'll say this first : The site looks great. Bravo to all who have worked on it.

I made a list of the different types of visitors that the site caters to, and made comments relative to each one, as well as some general comments about the site. Is this the right place to post them?

I'm a website developer. I use SME Server to host my sites. I'm not very good with perl, and I think that the best way I can contribute to the community is probably by working on the new Koozali.org site.
I'm experienced with Joomla (I've been using it since it was called Mambo). I'm not a graphics person, I do Joomla component and plugin development and SEO.
Can I help?
If so, who's managing the website and how can we go about collaborating?
