It’s time to meet the new PASS App Dev SIG Marketing Coordinator: me!

What exactly will I be doing? Well, according to Blythe I will be doing the following:

• Work directly with Blythe at PASS HQ to determine marketing strategy of the Application Development SIG
• Come up with creative ways to get meeting information and new content out to the community
• Work with other SIG groups to share marketing resources
• Form press gangs Recruit volunteers
• Help drive overall direction of the App Dev SIG
• Bring Blythe delicious pastries from around the globe

What this REALLY means is that I’ll be working with PASS and with you, the community, to find new ways to raise awareness of the Application Development SIG, attract quality speakers, recruit you into service via some type of “draft” system, and find out what us App Dev SIG folks can do to help you.

Are you going to see me standing around on street corners waving App Dev SIG signs? It’s possible, especially if I need to bring back pastries from exotic locations like Schenectady, NY or Hartford, CT. However, more importantly, it means what I’ve said previously: I’m going to listen to the community, take that into account, and then accept bribes.

Wait, that’s not right.

I’ll be working with Blythe and Todd to get the word out about the App Dev SIG, drive content creation, and market the bejesus out of this thing. Your bribes of bacon will not work on me, largely because I don’t eat meat.
