September 2010 13:21 +An: Mageia development mailing-list +Betreff: [Mageia-dev] Identifying Target Markets + +><i>A mistake that is often made is branding from an internal aesthetic when in +</I> +><i>fact branding should be more aimed externally to attract a new demographic. +</I> +><i>If the gods are in alignment then ideally it should point toward our +</I>principle +><i>point of difference and again this influences our branding choices in terms +</I>of +><i>Colour Pallet Logo and so forth. +</I> +This point is a bit difficult to me, as we (as the community) are the +internal and external in one. We create the distribution for us (the whole +community) and try enlarge the community. + +For example, afaik nearly 75% of the mandriva user (and there for Mageia +user) use KDE. If we for example aim an group of people which KDE doesn't +fit, we will probably loose more users the win new users. That's the tricky +part of a community distro I think ;) + +><i>The "feel" to me that came from the brainstorming was that Mageia could be +</I>><i>marketed as the "Family Distro". This being a principle point of +</I>difference +><i>when a user makes a decision as to what operating system to run. +</I> +Although I don't count myself to this group, I'm totally fine with the idea +and see that it is a nearly untapped market. But on the otherside: how big +could this market be? + +><i>So for instance as well as the standard software, educational programmes +</I>would +><i>be installed by default, be NetSafe (Dans Guardian), have OOo4Kids +</I>installed +><i>as well as a full office suite, Tuxtype, TuxPaint and so on. +</I> +Here I see some problems: +If we release a LiveCD and a DVD (like Mandriva does), there will be enough +space on the LiveCD for extra software. On the DVD there is enough space I +think, but is it for example really necessary to ship to office suits, just +to define our aimed market? + +><i>Documentation added to show parents how to set up accounts for the kids and +</I> +><i>how to make it Net safe. +</I> +That's a really cool idea! As we also debate about a welcome center, there +should definitely be a link in it, to that kind of documentation. + +I think that the normal home user and a young family have nearly the same +requirements. Both need an easy to install and maintain and use system (yes +I know: who doesn't want this). Maybe we can create a distribution which +fits such requirements and specialize to the family with meta-packages, +special documentation and tools for them? + +Regards, +TeaAge + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000518.html">[Mageia-dev] Identifying Target Markets +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000525.html">[Mageia-dev] Identifying Target Markets +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#470">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#470">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#470">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#470">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
