This page provides a schedule for happenings that can provide PR
value.

Principles

  o Everything about this sequence of events should lead us to a
  certain place at a certain time.  Namely, building the drumbeat for
  CMS and portals.

May 2000 Week 1

  o Applix/VistaSource.  Launching their site

  o ZapMedia's big announcement.

  o First checkpoint on Zope.org hit rates.

  o Begin setting the CMS message.

May 2000 Week 2

  o Perl for Zope. Contract was just signed.  This should include
  quotes from ActiveState, O'Reilly (Larry Wall), Python (Guido), and
  probably a customer or user.  In fact, we could coordinate with
  someone like Cameron Laird or O'Reilly Network to have an article
  written at the same time.

  o Partnership with FourThought to bring XML stuff to Zope.

May 2000 Week 3

  o VistaSource part 2. Putting $50k into Zope on Cosource.com, and a
  case study and article describing the development of the site.  This
  latter would also push DC as they'd talk about getting help from us.
  Also, tweak Zope.org for Cosource.

  o Team Zope.

  o Interview and case study with CodeIt about creating a booming
  business on Zope.

May 2000 Week 4

  o General ZEO availability.

  o Folks in NYC?

  o Any acquisition?

  o Announce CMS plans.

June 2000 Week 1

  o 50% jump in website traffic.  Mostly due to PR, but in the last
  half of the month, Mozilla efforts should produce a writing/browsing
  tool that does a pull every minute.  This should be useful enough
  that people will love using it.
